Earthsong is...

  • a vehicle for sonic teleportation.
  • a game of chance.
  • a tool for sonic inspiration.
  • an adventure, a surprise — totally unpredictable!

What does it do?

  • Generate spontaneous sound collages.
  • Build your own soundscapes in EARTH SONG's interactive 3-dimensional Sound Portal.
  • Discover surprising interactions and harmonies between sounds that were never meant to be heard together.
  • Mutate and transform sounds in real-time: reverse direction, change playback speed, “tune” sounds to each other.

How does it work?

  • Choose a place to explore by selecting a point on the map.
  • Sifting through freesound.org's vast database of user-contributed sound recordings, EARTH SONG finds audio material from the chosen geographical location.
  • Through a chance operation, 5 sounds are extracted and loaded into the spatial sound player. The EARTH SONG Sound Portal is a sonic playground where you can audition, manipulate and mix sounds to create your own custom sound environment.
  • Registered users can save and recall their favorite journeys.
