Hi everyone Thought this new project from Cities and Memory might be of interest! Over the course of the next 24 hours, were presenting a city sound map the likes of which hasnt been seen before - you can find it at citiesandmemory/hamburg I spent four days in the city simply listening to its sounds, gathering and collecting them, then sent these sounds around the world to 32 artists and musicians spanning ten countries to reimagine and remix, to create a new sonic picture of the city. Each artist has taken their own interpretation of what they heard when they listened to that sound from Hamburg, and applied their own musical and artistic background and experience, and taken the sounds of Hamburg in thirty different directions. The sounds are being released every hour or half-hour, and represent a real 24-hour timeframe in the life of Hamburg. The sounds of a city have never been presented like this before – both as a true-to-life documentary of a day in its life through field recordings, but also as a complete artistic reinterpretation of one city, as heard by people from as far afield as Cape Town, San Francisco and Barcelona. On the surface this is Hamburg, Germany – but beneath that, this is about the intersection between places as we experience them at the time and places as we remember them later. Hope you enjoy the sounds! Stuart.
