DESCRIPTION
In order to document and share the soundscapes of our world, we built an online sound map in the summer of 2012 and asked the public to contribute to it with field recordings and sounds from their lives. The map was presented as a sound component to the _ MoMA Studio: Common Sense _ space, held in conjunction with the _ Century of the Child _ exhibition. There are now over 100 recordings on the map, and the sounds are rich and varied: wind turbines in Andalucía and Ireland, chanting from Japan, a manifestation in Madrid, various recordings throughout the streets of London, a soundwalk through The Museum of Modern Art, Cypriot goats, Californian owls, and Irish birds. The map is meant to draw attention to the sonic characteristics of various locations around the world, and it was therefore designed to have minimal visual information. We will briefly touch on the development process and plans for the future.
