Each city has a song name; and vice versa
We like didactic maps, those that show us the world as it is and that make us reflect; also those maps that pull creativity and art, that geographically organize those things that make us happy and that allow us to live better. This map is a soundtrack to the world, a way of understanding the world with musical notes.
Asia is 'Holiday in Cambodia' and 'Hong Kong Garden'
the british studio Dorothy has brought together the great songs of each country in a cartography that pays homage to the destination but also to the composer. Spain is an entire album by Miles Davis, his 'Sketches of Spain', and China, an ode to Siouxsie and the Banshees' 'Hong Kong Garden'. ** Here you can see it enlarged, perfect to immerse yourself in musical geography **.
Crystal Frontier, the border sung by Calexico
The acid sense of humor is very present, it spins fine in Dorothy's musical world: North Korea becomes Joy Division's 'Isolation'; the US-Mexico border is sung as Calexico's 'Crystal Frontier'; China will always be a noodle factory (Traffic's 'Shanghai Noodle Factory' sounds in our heads); Greenland is all green (New Order's 'Everything's Gone Green'); and Hendrix's famous 'Voodoo Child' now sings to Voodoo Chile.
The World Music Map It is the perfect gift for music lovers but also for those who collect rarity maps. As Wired comments, you can get your map through Dorothy's website in two formats: the classic (£25) and the vintage (£35) Both contain a list of all the songs and their performers in alphabetical order.
