We’ll visit a selection and keeping with the concept you will hear the original field recording of a place followed by a re-imagined piece. There are over 5,000 sounds featured on this sound map, spread over more than 100 countries and territories. Every location on the Cities and Memory sound map features 2 sounds, the original field recording of that place and a reimagined sound that presents that place and time as somewhere else, somewhere new.
