DJ Shadow has teamed with Nokia for a pretty cool contest/”experiment” – What does your city sound like? (I presume it’s a play on the Shadow track What Does Your Soul Look Like.) They’re asking people to record the sounds “that define your city.”

Shadow got the ball rolling with a trolley-bell-heavy track on San Francisco (mp3 below).

I wouldn’t even know where to begin with Phoenix. How do you record urban sprawl and 100-degree heat?
