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.

He is blowing and shaping glass for the museum shop after the visitors have left. The sound is unique as usually, only the glassblowers at the museum will hear the process as it is in the recording. During public glassblowing demonstrations, there would be talking therefore a different sound to what is heard here. St Helens is world famous for glass and the story of an industry entwined there is being kept alive in this recording. The Hot Glass Studio is one of the largest in the UK. The recording was taken in 2025. Recorded by Rebecca Ainsworth.","meta_description":"This is the sound of a master glassblower, Marcin Czepiga at The World of Glass.
