Sound Mapping
Sound Mapping is a participatory work of sound art made for outdoor environments.The work is installed in the environment by means of a Global Positioning System (CPS) which tracks the movement of participants through the space.Their position is mapped to musical functions that relate to their immediate surroundings creating a walk-through composition arranged in geographical space rather than time.The premier exhibition of Sound Mapping took place in the Sullivan's Cove docks district of Hobart,Tasmania in January-Februar 1998. Participants wheeled four movement-sensitive, sound producing suitcases into the Cove to realise an algorithmic composition written specifically for the precinct. The suitcases played music in response to the geographical location and movements of the cases made by the participants. Music produced through this interaction is designed to reflect the region in which it is produced as well as the personal involvement of the participants. In the Hobart show participants moved as a group following a path from the Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery around Victoria and Constitution Docks. Accompanied by a Museum attendant, participants progressed through a series of musical zones.
