Earthsong

EARTH SONG is...

• a portal for exploring the sounds of other places
• a tool for sonic inspiration
• a surprising and unpredictable sonic adventure

 

What does it do?

• Listen to sounds from anywhere on Earth
• Discover surprising interactions and harmonies between sounds
• Build your own soundscapes in EARTH SONG's interactive 3-dimensional Sound Portal
• 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
• EARTH SONG searches freesound.org - a massive collaborative database of user-contributed audio recordings - for sounds from that location
• 5 sounds are selected at random and loaded into the EARTH SONG Sound Portal, 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
