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.

Being from a smallish town in England originally, it's a sound I am very familiar with - this was then compounded with the pigeons and the bin trucks; again, all very familiar sounds, and ones that are mostly missing in my current home of New Zealand. \"With the approach of the memories this triggered in me, I also wanted to include a nod to the 'Englishness' of it all. To this end, I have layered strings and choral voices across the original sounds to give it something of an Elgarian feel. At least in my head. \"In terms of processing, all the percussion is derived from the flagpole or other sounds within the original piece. I've also processed most of the strings and the bass through snippets of the original to give it a more coherent and gritty feel. And finally, there are a couple of synths that use samples of the pigeon and the bin truck. Holbrook village green reimagined by maff (Matt George).
