sonic city
sonic city is beautiful. Their measurement of feeling such as luminosity and wave of sound, were clear that other people can also participate in. It would be more interesting If I can hear the orchestra from far away like in the middle of icy wind in the Alaska or North Pole from those eskimo people while I can make my own orchestra. For example, I am cleaning my window, and making my own orchestra using their GPS instrument, and I can hear the sound from far away. I also want to put GPS on those letters that are thrown away, and what people were doing before. I like the piece of “finding home”. it is used to extend feeling in order to feel secure in a dangerous place. It reminds me of “the catcher in the rye”, the girl with gps is more aware to be in a real world to continue her life with more confidence and comfortableness in her own way. I want GPS for my own too so that I can be more aware of my skin, food, time, money, daydream, and every little intention and stupid “want”. I want to use GPS so that I can keep updating about my self in a certain extend.
I also thought sonic city was an amazing project. Marrying natural sound in the environment with the synthesis of MIDI controlled electronic sounds is a really innovative idea. Although this project took a lot of technical know how, I feel inspired to do something auditory with my mediascape project.
