A new HiFi 3D Binaural Audio Listening Experience
For everyone who loves to listen with headphones, this is a new level of being there. Press play and the whole city opens up around you - the street ahead, the bells to your left, the water behind you, voices passing above. Not a track playing at you, but a place you stand inside, exactly as it was recorded on foot.
Walking Cities - the series
Each release is a 3D audio soundwalk, made by actively walking the city and captured with Binaural 3D recording techniques. It gives you the feeling you are walking there yourself, a first-person experience of the real sonic identity of each place from the comfort of your own chair.

What you're hearing
A single binaural take. We don't paste sounds together - what you hear is what was there, in the order it happened.
Binaural audio rebuilds the geometry of a place through your own hearing. Sound lands left, right, behind, above - the city all around you.
Dolby Atmos and binaural 3D, captured on foot. For everyone who loves to listen with headphones, this is the answer.
Something even more immersive
"I never heard a city like this. I closed my eyes and I was simply there - walking, with everything around me."
"I didn't think listening could feel like this. It freed something. The street was around me and I had never noticed it before."
"Honestly a little freaky at first - then I couldn't stop. It's the closest thing to being somewhere else without leaving the room."
Before you buy
Binaural recording captures sound the way your two ears hear it on location. Headphones deliver each channel to the correct ear, so your brain rebuilds the geometry of the space - left, right, behind, above. On speakers, the 3D effect collapses. For everyone who loves to listen with headphones, this is where it comes alive.
A digital download in Dolby Atmos, binaural 3D, MP3 and FLAC. FLAC is lossless, MP3 plays everywhere, Atmos is for compatible devices.
You can, but you'll lose the spatial effect. These soundwalks are made for headphones or earbuds. For room playback, see our Atmos releases instead.
The classic release is the field recording exactly as captured - pure realism. The drones version (Ambient Textures) layers subtle binaural tones over the same walk, for deeper focus or sleep. Same place, two modes.
