Visual impressions without doubt are dominant, which is significantly shown by a comfortable screen opposed to mostly less powerful speakers at computers, except for music. This is completely different at SoundCities, an online project gathering sounds of the world. The sounds are available at a world map including the option to add new sounds recorded somewhere on the planet. At all it is a real pleasure to audiophiles.

SoundCities is an art project by Stanza, an artist specialized in net art and data sculptures, who uses the sound databases to run performances and makes available a couple of further features and tools to have fun with the global sounds available. A comprehensive introduction to the project is given by the info page at SoundCities.

Who by the way rather like to listen to music from around the world may visit the formerly introduced citysounds.fm, an innovative music streaming service making available music of the metropolitan cities of the world out of the cloud.
