Happy third anniversary to our Well-Being Cities project, a wonderful collaboration with @c40cities.bsky.social using sound to examine the idea of sustainability in cities, and ask what a city that prioritises health and well-being might sound like. citiesandmemory.com/wellbeing-ci...

Here's a poem from my collection Chartless/demagnetised to share with you for #NationalPoetryDay ❤️

Here's a poem from my collection Chartless/demagnetised to share with you for #NationalPoetryDay ❤️

“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! 👂🔊 www.newscientist.com/article/2498...

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 🎉

For the first time in Cities and Memory history, we were able to bring contributing artists together before a project launch to meet up and get inspired before they get started. Artists and came together @pittriversmuseum.bsky.social 🏛️🗿 to learn more about their incredible sound collections:

Found myself becoming really interested in the sounds of nature and places. You can genuinely lose yourself in the recordings @radiolento.bsky.social & @citiesandmemory.bsky.social have some great soundscapes to listen to👇🏻 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c...

My personal field recording journey in one album 🎧 - released today as part of our ongoing tenth anniversary celebrations 🎂 Recording sound has made me experience the world differently - I listen differently and more deeply, and I feel so much more connected to place and to experience as a result.
