Obsolete Sounds


"Obsolete Sounds, a project from Cities and Memory, is the biggest collection of obsolete and disappearing sounds of the world-– remixed and reimagined to create a brand new form of listening."


The collection includes: 
- Obsolete home entertainment such as VHS tapes, Walkman cassette players, video games consoles and film projectors 
- Vintage military equipment like World War II codebreaking machines, warplanes and air raid sirens 
- The evocative sounds of old typewriters, Teletype machines and printing presses 
- The world of transport - steam trains, vintage racing cars, 100-year-old farm equipment and London Underground C-stock 
- Domestic appliances from the past including hand mixers, Bakelite switches, fans, shavers and coffee grinders 
- Reflections on the disappearing sounds of the natural world, industrial processes and cultural traditions
