future

We are working with the engineers to resolve some outstanding issues on the existing iterations: getting Iteration 3: Choreography & Control operating, ensuring users in Iteration 2: Choreography, hear their own sounds.

The remaining, planned iterations include:

  • 5: Metaphor - a combination of the features in Choreography and Environmentally Located Sounds
  • 6: Sampling - users contribute sounds into the system by recording with the phone's microphone
  • 7: Effects - participants affect sounds in ways other than turning them on and off, such as reverb, panning, volume, mixing, pitch shifting)
  • 8: Synthesizer - users generate music in MIDI using the keypad
  • 9: Gesture - users affect sounds through gestural movements such as raising their hands
  • 10: Uploading - users contribute sounds to the system that remain available for future users

We are now involved in extensive testing of the available iterations and their content applications with a range of participants. User will be asked to try the experiences, provide feedback and make suggestions for where they would like to see more development, in either the applications or the content productions.

Once we have completed a thorough testing stage, we will engage a number of composers and soundscape designers to create content that can be deployed on these applications for presentation to a broader public.
