    Da'ira

    2026/04/24 | 9 mins.
    "I worked on just one device just sampling and looping for this project, a sort of going back to basics. Da'ira means circle, orbit, or wholeness / unity in Arabic. In terms of timbre, wanted to reimagine the powerful hypnotic and melancholic quality of the call to prayer, something fundamental. This is one of a few recordings I made for this project, the rest are here: https://dtyb.bandcamp.com/album/hubb."

    El Cabanyal

    "No matter where in the world you are by the sea, the language of water is on the one hand the same everywhere, and on the other hand has a clear regional accent.I often work with the sound of water and waves in my music. 
    "And since I hadn't been to Spain before, it was very appealing to undertake this journey acoustically, based solely on Tomasz Buga's field recording of the Plaja d´El Cabanyal in Valencia.In the musical interpretation, I simply followed the rhythm of the waves. 
    "The ebb and flow of the surf is like a story that the sea has been telling since time immemorial."

    I arrived in Valencia one day before the conference I was attending, so I decided to record some calming sounds of the sea, waves and the general beach and chill atmosphere.

    Practice

    "The idea was to create a piece that worked with the violin so I started by isolating the tonal layer in Spectral Layers. This gave me multiple layers from the original recording so I could work out a key and tempo to build the track around. I then created a slow ambient track with a minimal beat that grounds the drifting violin."
    Violin at La Fenice reimagined by Karhide.

About Cities and Memory - remixing the world

Cities and Memory remixes the world, one sound at a time - a global collaboration between artists and sound recordists all over the world. The project presents an amazingly-diverse array of field recordings from all over the world, but also reimagined, recomposed versions of those recordings as we go on a mission to remix the world. What you'll hear in the podcast are our latest sounds - either a field recording from somewhere in the world, or a remixed new composition based solely on those sounds. Each podcast description tells you more about what you're hearing, and where it came from. There are more than 8,000 sounds featured on our sound map, spread over more than 140 countries and territories. The sounds cover parts of the world as diverse as the hubbub of San Francisco’s main station, traditional fishing women’s songs at Lake Turkana, the sound of computer data centres in Birmingham, spiritual temple chanting in New Taipei City or the hum of the vaporetto engines in Venice.
