Field Recording 2.0 with DJ Shadow

DJ Shadow initiated a competition in which the participants are using mobile phones to record the sounds that define their city. The uploaded sounds are later reviewed by DJ Shadow to be part of a music track.

excerpt of the creative brief:

This cutting edge music experiment offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to co-create a track with DJ Shadow using modern mobile technology. Entitled “What does your city sound like?” DJ Shadow wants you to send him audio recordings of what you think are the most interesting and unique sounds of your city, from which he will create a totally original track.
Nokia Trends Lab will upload the various audio recordings received at www.nokiatrendslab.com for DJ Shadow to choose the city which he feels has submitted the most interesting sounds in order to create an exclusive mix for that city

upload your city sound ;-)
