Sound Waves, a collaborative project by Cities and Memory, formed part of World Listening Day 2015. It celebrated and built on World Listening Day’s 2015 theme of water by presenting a collective reimagining of the sounds of water around the world. Thirty-eight sound artists from around the world submitted a field recording and reimagining of water somewhere in the world: ocean, river, lake, stream, swimming pool, boiling kettle, splash of a puddle – anything in which water is the defining sound.By capturing the sounds of water and recontextualising them, we examined our own relationship with water as it surrounds us every day.
A selection of the reimagined sounds will be included in Liquid.
