“That sort of remixing is an adventure in itself”. Why do artists enjoy getting involved with Cities and Memory?

We asked a few Cities and Memory contributors what inspired them to get involved, and what they enjoy about reimagining sounds with us - here’s what they said 💕🎧

Our brain 'swivels' to focus on sounds from different directions
Many mammals physically pivot their ears to hone in on a particular sound, and now it seems that a similar action takes place in our brain - amazing stuff! 👂🔊

From one sound recorded under a bridge to 132 countries and 2,000 artists, it’s been an incredible journey over the last ten years, as you’ve all helped this become one of the world’s largest sound projects - but more than that, a global community of artists. citiesandmemory.com/2025/09/ten-...

This is perhaps one of the coolest things I have ever come across!

To me, it reflects the many beautiful types and dimensions of sound in our humanity. I can't stop smiling as I listen and learn.

Congrats on your 10th anniversary @citiesandmemory.bsky.social 🎉
