Listen in on the Sounds of New York

Workspace startup Breather is offering a web app that curates the sounds of New York City: The online app Sounds of New York holds mastered clips recorded in 27 neighborhoods, from Times Square to Chinatown. It’s an immersive example of the unique aspects of the city: Harlem has notes of jazz, while parts of Nolita were recorded at the Supreme store. Better yet, it’s an interesting look at the creative storytelling that a startup can lean on in order to call attention to their services. I spoke with Vanda Daftari, Head of Creative at Breather, to learn more about the ambient noise app:

It’s Breather’s Tribute to the City

What are Breather’s goals for the service? I love the booming podcast industry, and ambient noise is an interesting yet often overlooked aspect of the non-music audio world. Here’s hoping Breather keeps exploring new soundscapes in the future!
