Various : Sounds of the Year 2022 [Cities and Memory]

Sounds of the Year is the annual series from Cities and Memory compiling some of the highlights from one of the world’s biggest sound projects, remixing the world, one sound at a time.

Twelve compositions represent some of the huge variety of compositions, approaches and imaginative ways of thinking about sound. Artists from all over the world remix and reimagine field recordings as varied as climate change protests, volcanic hot springs, crashing waves, city soundscapes and desert wastelands.

Musical approaches and compositional techniques include poetry, spoken word, lyrical reinterpretations, ambient electronica and drone, inspiration from reggae protest music and beautiful melodic reinterpretations of found sounds.

The field recordings upon which each composition is based are included as bonus tracks on the album”

Aries Death Cult : The Lunarians [ADC001]

“Mom, Dad. I’ve been hearing reports about the food program. So far it sounds like you and your advisors have managed to turn it into a real disaster. You said that it was out of your hands, what you should have said was that you wash your hands of it. It sounds like most of the food is low quality.”

DJ NB : The Void Listens Back [M-005]

“The album aesthetically is a culmination of events. Moving to a new city, being homeless for a whole summer, being a councilor at an outdoor school, and more. Though they seem insignificant when listening to the album, they do serve as ulterior motives for these songs, sometimes being the main topic like on ANTliens (a reference to both his city and the OutKast album ATLiens) and Put the Ramen in Sacramento, both ambient interludes that segway the main tracks from one to another while keeping the dark mood.”
