Binaural Stereo – Lisbon

Binaural Stereo – Lisbon compiles 57 long and evolving sound files from Portugal’s sunny capital, known for its unique river/ocean-side location and diverse lifestyles.

Busy traffic intersections from the city’s famous avenues contrast with the quiet ambience of its picturesque neighborhoods. These areas are splashed with riverside waves and distant boat engines and also include chatty tourist hotspots like Carmo’s Street, Feira da Ladra’s flea market, or A Brasileira’s coffee shop. Lisbon’s main plazas also abound with centered recordings, resulting in complete cityscapes with both busy traffic flow and pedestrian action.

Some of the city’s gardens were recorded on hot summer days, capturing cicada calls, the chirping of multiple bird species, and curious sightseers exploring the surroundings.

The city’s trademark trams are also prominently featured on all traffic soundscapes but also with an interior ride take for full VR immersion. Other city transportation vehicles, such as cable cars, trains, subways, and their respective stations, are also included. They were recorded on multiple floors and distances, some with interior takes as well. With nearly 6 hours of versatile and original content, you’re guaranteed to find the right cityscape from one of Europe’s most sought-after tourist destinations.
