Amidst this new normal, remembering the banality of lost activities is enough to make me cry.
A compilation of some of the best re-imagined sounds of 2020 - and the original field recordings that inspired them.
Each of these tracks is a new composition developed from a field recording in the Cities and Memory project - this year's tour takes us from a pagan ritual in English fields to Indian religious ceremonies, via billionaires at the World Economic Forum, elaborate tombs, thrilling speedboat rides, moments of natural contemplation and, of course, the global Covid-19 lockdowns.
These tracks are taken from the Cities and Memory project, and none appear on any of our other 2020 album releases.
