Mapping the Iceberg: An Attempt to Model the City of Aix-en-Provence as 3D Sound Map on a Real Space
Marie Muller mapped sounds of Aix en Provence during a Locus Sonus residency and in the resulting installation, the spectator can navigate in a schematic reconstruction of a city soundscape mapped to the volume of an empty space.
The process of sonification design for guidance tasks
Gaetan Parsilhan’s (et al.) seeks to further sightless navigation to improve sonification design for guidance tasks. This study compares the efficiency of different sound parameter control strategies in relation to perception of localization.
Can One Hear Mobile Listening? The Public Ringtones Project and the Mediality of Listening
Matthieu Saladin investigates the role of the ringtone in the neoliberal soundscape and the mobile phone as an “apparatus”. His project Sonnerie Publiques hijacks our mobile phones by offering downloadable ringtones that deliver “thought provoking” text to speech messages infiltrating the public sphere.
Acoustic Localisation Techniques for Interactive and Locative Audio Applications
Dom Schlienger proposes the use of acoustic source localization principles (measuring acoustic time delays between loudspeakers and microphones) as a means for local positioning in spatially interactive applications.
Inside Zeno’s Arrow: Mobile Captation and Sonification
Peter Sinclair speculates that the new power of calculation that we carry in our pockets might enable innovative methods for generating sound directly from the situation, rather than overlaying it with recorded sound.
Mobile Sound and (Re)Making Place
Posing the body as site and as context, Jessica Thompson discusses several projects where mobility, sound and interaction set the stage for networked performances.
