Cities and Memory Swedish radio interview

Nov 20, 2023, 07:54 AM

"In Oxford, Stuart Fowkes runs the Cities and memory site, one of the world's largest sound projects. Among other things, it is a large world map where you can listen to over 6,000 sounds from 115 countries and for each point on the map there are two sounds - a field recording and a variant of that sound interpreted by an artist. The sounds sometimes become albums and we listen to a humpback whale that has become music in the song Majestic Mammalia from the record Polar Sounds."

Broadcast December 2023 on Sveriges Radio, Sweden.
