Re-imagined soundscape composition.
Koforidua is a composition comprising field recordings from the Wetland Ghana 2022 Archives recorded by Samuel Kudjodzi in binaural format in a suburban settlement in Koforidua, Eastern Region, Ghana. It is contributed to Cities and Memory, Oxford, UK, citiesandmemory.com, and explores the musical patterns of natural acoustic phenomena found in wetland ecosystems in suburban Ghana, and the creative possibilities that come with them.
Cities and Memory podcast platform for field recording and sound art, with thousands of recordings covering more than 100 countries and territories all over the world, each of them remixed and reimagined into a completely new composition.
The main goal of this project is to encourage focused listening, raise awareness about fragile ecosystems and encourage positive attitudes and protection of disappearing ecosystems.
