Electronic Sound x Cities and Memory feature and release
We’re excited to let you know that we’ve teamed up with the excellent music magazine Electronic Sound on their special field recording issue this month.
We’ve collaborated with Electronic Sound on a special double-CD album release, which contains an entire disc of highlights from right across the Cities and Memory project – while the first disc is packed with field recording-related tracks from the likes of Chris Watson, Leafcutter John and Simon Fisher Turner.
In the magazine itself, there’s a double-page feature on Cities and Memory, as well as another article breaking down the Cities and Memory CD release with a track-by-track description, as told in the words of the contributing artists.
You can pick up the album and CD combo package for £11.99 or the magazine only for £6.99. The magazine is available at newsagents across the UK, or online here.
