Sons de Barcelona is a local project related to the international FreeSound community, where people capture the sounds they believe to be representative of different areas of the city and post them online in a city map.
I loved the idea and wanted to share it with you. Some of my favorites where the
wind blowing at the beach and the
sea waves, the
rain at the Palace of Justice, a
bird singing, a
creaky balcony door, the announcement of the next stop in a
RENFE train, the "
heartbeat-like" sound of cars passing a bridge, the Encants de Bellcaire
flee market and the sellers shouting their "barato" (cheap) merchandise, a
tapas bar, the celebration of a
victory of the Barça football team, the
bells of a neighbourhood church, dry
leaves blown by the wind, someone running over
pebbles...
There are even sounds related to our tourist sites, such as the
electronic carillion of the Sagrada Familia church,
organ playing and the ecos inside a
church, the athmosphere at
Plaça Catalunya, the
birds market in La Rambla, the
Boqueria Market, tourist at the
Park Güell...
