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.

One resident returned to their old home to gather final belongings, murmuring to themselves. In summers past, they might have set out small tables and bamboo chairs at the doorstep for cooling off, dining, or ga sanhu (chatting). Without the muffled clamour of neighbours, their murmurs grow clear, the room’s reverberation spilling into the alley, amplified again. This hollow, resonant echo is etched into the temporal lobes of the residents—a soundscape shared across generations. After moving to new homes, will it take them long to adjust?
