We’re still on the lookout for artists to reimagine and remix the sounds of sacred and religious spaces for our latest project.
What’s more, we’ve just added a new batch of sounds we’ve recorded in Italy over the last week, from a prayer song in an Orthodox church to bells ringing out across Venice.
Drop us an email if you’d like to claim a sound and take part in the project – the closing date for submissions of reimagined sounds is 27 January.

"As this wave from memories flows in, the city soaks it up like a sponge and expands. A description of [the city] as it is today should contain all [the city's] past. The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the poles of the bags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indentations, scrolls."
