radio aporee - miniatures

Platform for location-based augmented sound projects in public space.

radio aporee ::: miniatures for mobiles is a platform for augmented aur(e)ality sound projects in public space. Many works have been created during the last years, from sound art to story-telling, artistic documentation, and hybrid experimental formats.

A miniature for mobiles is created and organized by a web-based editing tool, and listened to with this mobile phone app while walking outside, at the site where a piece is created for. In addition to the phone app, a browser-based web app is also available, without the need to install on your device.

A miniature for mobiles is usually made for a small area, e.g. a neighborhood, the next street corner, things in a walking distance.

While walking, sounds continuously change and fade along your path, depending on the piece, and the listener's position, speed and direction. The sounds of a miniature naturally mix with the actual sounds of the environment, which gives a immersive listening experience and an intense sense of place. Open earphones recommended!
