In 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the project launched #StayHomeSounds which “aims to record how the sound of cities is dramatically changing during the Covid-19 outbreak". A theme called 'Protest and Politics' came out in 2017 and "provide a snapshot into the politics of the last decade, and the ensuing responses". Every several months a specific theme is launched and sounds are collected and created around it previous themes have included the sounds of the London Underground, nature, prayer, and outer space. įounded in 2015 by Stuart Fowkes, the project has been featured in The Guardian, Bloomberg, BBC World Service, and The Atlantic. More than 1,000 sound artists from around the world have contributed to the project so far. The project consists of a global map, on which each location features two sounds: the original field recording of the place, and a remixed version of that sound by a sound artist/composer. It features more than 5,000 sounds from over 100 countries. Cities and Memory is a global sound art and field recording project.
