A coworker recently turned Pawn onto You Are Listening To…, a website which mashes up ambient music and police scanners. Focusing on five cities, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Montreal, the site features a simple photograph of the city you chose, along with the aural pastiche appropriate to those climes. Check it out, a shockingly soothing audio backdrop for the workplace.
As an interesting experiment,just go looking for some sounds you think might go well together. I just loaded up the “Ambient” tag at Sound Cloud in one browser window, and the Kennedy Space Center live audio feed in another.
“appropriate to those “‘climbs’.”
oops. The Word is “climes”.
Thanks for the correction, I’ve updated the page. Also misspelled Los Angeles. 🙂
