Sound Compass. November 2009. Lightning system, Computer, Max MSp and headphones.

Sound Compass is a piece that aims to display different soundscapes that can be found on a concrete city or area. The piece is presented as a game between the user and the sound triggered by headphones. Wearing the headphones, the user can move the mouse over the compass and listen to different soundscapes tided with a geographic spot on the city. Each soundscape has been recorded in each of the cardinal points of the city.

The result is the combination of all eight soundscapes that becomes a sound portrait of the town or city. There you can finde from the crowded motorways to the calmness of a city park.
