  • Coral, stone, shell, water

    Coral, stone, shell, water

    Fascinating micro-sounds from Coral Beach, when tiny, slow and quiet waves on this unique beach made of tiny stone, coral and shell fragments creates a beautiful "whooshing" sound with every pass.

  • Inside the wall of a concrete bunker

    Inside the wall of a concrete bunker
    2025/11/14
    Recording inside an open air vent inside the two metre-thick wall of the concrete bunker building that forms the Boros Collection. The space has a fascinating past as a shelter, a prison for political prisoners, and a techno and sex club - and now it hosts a conceptual art exhibition.

    The sound captures both the muffled sounds of museum-goers on one side, and the passage of air and the sounds from Berlin outside on the other.

    Recorded by Cities and Memory, September 2025.

    Widerhall - piano in the hall

    "Taking Brian Eno's chopped tape ambient recordings as inspiration, I chopped up sampled loops of Chopin's 'Nocture C sharp in minor,' creating long and short sequences that I then initially synced, before letting them run in and out of time with each other, gently applying FX along the way.

    "The field recording inspired this notion of a paid session pianist sitting amongst the chaos and noise of a grand museum, playing to no one, ignored and quietly letting themselves get a little weird just for their own amusement."

    Aboard a tourist boat from Loch Coruisk to Elgol, with different tones, speeds and intensity of engine noise blending with the sound of waves.

  • Village, QinQiang opera and birds

    Village, QinQiang opera and birds
    2025/11/14
    A quiet and nice village besides Yellow River at Lanzhou City. QinQiang opera from the loud speaker in the village and this is very local sound. Happy birds are busy on working. What a wonderful soundscape.

    In passage
    2025/11/14
    "'In Passage' was inspired by the field recording “Boat engines roar, Loch Coruisk” by Cities and Memory. I love this field recording of a tourist boat and wanted to enhance it with additional recordings from my library, including boat and shoreline field recordings, a contact microphone recording of a metal park gate, and sonic excerpts of other forms of travel: train, horse carriage and helicopter.

    "The original field recording was edited into three parts, linked together and supported by my recordings."

    "I put the original recording through a bit of distortion, listened to it for a while, and then went over it with some text from my phone notes that felt like it fitted the original sounds. My practice involves extended vocal techniques, I tried to treat the original recording as a collaborator in the same space as me to some extent."

  • Two waters distortion (Kymatology 11)

    Two waters distortion (Kymatology 11)
    2025/11/14
    "This six-minute composition combines the Isle of Skye Coral Beach recording with my own field recordings of water and hands passing through shells of an invasive species, from Lake Michigan at Europe Bay (in Northern Wisconsin) near where I grew up. I've been developing several compositions about waves, and movements across geographies - the Isle of Skye beach recording was quite subtle and rhythmic.

    "I paired these field recordings with overdriven, distorted melodics granular sampling of the recordings too, that remind, perhaps, of distant engines of seafaring vessels - a sonic memory-music of two huge bodies of water and shorelines."
