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 love the off note in the initial section of the piece, and started off with the notion of taking that discordance & slowly bringing it into harmony. That was stymied however, by initial processing of the discordant note resulting in something beautiful. \"The other striking aspect of the recording is that although the brass band is the main focus here, at points extraneous sounds - conversation, handling noise, wind - end up louder than it. I wanted to extend that experience, and deliberately hide the delightful main point of focus behind other sounds which might or might not match or harmonise. \"To this end, I extracted and processed lots of sound from the recording, added some synthesiser lines & extra percussion, and arranged to taste.\" Multicultural celebration parade in Oslo reimagined by Andrew Tulloch.","meta_description":"\"One of the first things that jumped out at me about this recording was the sheer joy it conveyed, slight warts & all.
