The project presents an amazingly-diverse array of field recordings from all over the world, but also reimagined, recomposed versions of those recordings as we go on a mission to remix the world. What you'll hear in the podcast are our latest sounds - either a field recording from somewhere in the world, or a remixed new composition based solely on those sounds. Each podcast description tells you more about what you're hearing, and where it came from. There are more than 8,000 sounds featured on our sound map, spread over more than 140 countries and territories . The sounds cover parts of the world as diverse as the hubbub of San Francisco’s main station, traditional fishing women’s songs at Lake Turkana, the sound of computer data centres in Birmingham, spiritual temple chanting in New Taipei City or the hum of the vaporetto engines in Venice.

I imagined the river carrying layers of song, remnants of the past softened and polished by the water over time. \"The imagery of an overpass with the river flowing beneath reminded me of a thread or rope twisting, starting from one point and ending up in another. The traffic sounds serve as a backdrop to the initial melody (and the percussive transition) before converging with the layered melody, creating a sort of echo of the past.
