about

In these strange and unsettling times all over the world, we all need a little something to brighten up our day, however small it might be.

Sounds for Lifting Hearts ❤️is a compilation of some the most beautiful field recordings from Cities and Memory, from Sri Lanka and Chile to Italy and Israel.

Please download it for free, share it with your friends and we hope these sounds can bring a ray of sunshine into your day ☀️👇

Sounds for Lifting Hearts is divided into two sections - from the natural and the man-made world.

In the first half, you'll hear the call of nightingales, a beautiful dawn chorus, flowing rivers, forests teeming with life and waves crashing onto the beach.

In the second part, you can listen to bells from the rooftops of Venice, old-time jazz on the streets of Paris, beautiful calls to prayer from Jerusalem, brass bands, flamenco and cathedral choirs.
