A special moment in Sofienbergparken

A special recording for me - the very first recording from outside the UK submitted to Cities and Memory in 2015 was from Sofienbergparken in Oslo. It seemed like a dream that not only had the project somehow managed to cross borders, but had also made a connection of some kind, so to me even this humble city park held a kind of magic. To go there ten years later and record it for myself felt like a special moment, so this recording holds power for me. Within it, you'll hear an evening walkthrough in golden sunlight, with groups chatting and playing music, children playing, people playing ping pong and generally hanging out on a Saturday evening. Recorded by Cities and Memory, September 2025.
