Cities and Memory: The naural world in sound: Sounding Nature
Cities and Memory

Abstract
Human generated noise and its impact on ecology and ecosystems has gained considerable attention and generated significant scientific study in recent years. Field recording as a documentary sound practice and ways to approach listening to, evaluating and recording natural ambience has also had renewed interest from the sound art community. In response to an invitation to contribute to the Cities and Memory - Sounding Nature project and its brief, my submission, 'Cambodiments' isolates the sonic instances of human presence in the source field recording ('locusts in a Cambodian night setting' recorded by Marcel Gnauk) and through processing heightens them in the general ambience. The remixing of the original source recording therefore generates an entirely different soundscape, one which musicalises the incessant locust ambience while heightening the impact and focus of human presence in the landscape.
