«In the project Sonic City, we have developed a system that enables people to create music in real time by walking through and interacting with the urban environment. Drawing on wearable and context-aware computing, our prototype applies perception of place, time, situation, and activity to the real-time sound processing of urban sounds. In Sonic City, we explore the use of public space and everyday behaviours for creative purposes, in particular the city as an interface and mobility as an interaction model for electronic music making.»
