Cities and Memory contains a global collection of city sounds. Recently updated with the Sounding Nature category, which is the world's largest collection of nature sounds.
From 2014 the Cities and Memory site has created maps with city sounds focused on demonstrations (Sound Protest), In Sacred Spaces and to photos (Sound Photography). His newest work, however, is moving away from humans and focusing on areas where the natural world is undisturbed.
The Sounding Nature is the world's largest collection of nature sounds, with almost 500 sounds from 55 countries, από ζούγκλες έως παγετώνες, μέχρι υποβρύχιες εγγραφές γαρίδας. Υπάρχουν εξωτικοί sounds such as from hippos and hyenas, from bats and canaries or even the sound of the geyser in Iceland and Hurricane Harvey as it passed over Texas. The map has two parts: the recording of the natural sound itself, and then a musical remix inspired by the natural sound.
In relation to them sounds of planet Mars, the Earth is by its very noisy nature. In addition, people and cities create a pattern with modern noises that we would say cities never sleep. All of this seems to be inspiration and creativity for some of our fellow humans, as the people of Cities and Memory wanted to capture as many sounds as possible and make them public through an interactive map.
For all three subcategories, Athens, as a bustling, sacred and rich city, has a constant presence on the maps. You can easily hear the sounds of the city by simply pressing the red sign above Athens and each category separately. But you can do the same for all the other parts of the planet.
The Cities and Memory website is not just a recording of sounds for advertising purposes. Behind it, its people being ecologically conscious, try to point out the destructive one development of the embryos of the ever-increasing noise levels. They report, especially for animals, that their noise causes stress and their immune problems system.
