soundmap

Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery | 101 Queen Street North in Kitchener

The soundmap frees recordings from both physical space and the sequential nature of conventional sound playback. An online interface places a collection of field recordings from the KW-Guelph-Cambridge landscape in a virtual acoustic space and asks the user to interact with them. The soundmap is a means of exploring simultaneous and overlaid sounds and accesses a new reading of landscape.
