I really need your help guys! I'm working on a project to submit at link but for doing it i need the collaboration of lot of people, otherwise the project will fail and i'll be really really sad...
Anyway, i need you to get your mics and record not less than 5mins out of your window. I need a field recordings of the very place where you live togheter with a short reflection about a particular sound that your memory associates with the place you live in.
read the text below, it's the really first writing of the idea so please sorry about it, it's probably row and needs better english but you can already understand what i need those field recordings for.
thanks in advance.
send everything to bluermutt AT NOSPAM gmail.com
'for everywhere but not here' it's a generative work that aims to be a reflection on the emotional side of distance, the perception i have of the places where i'm not, the obsessive desire of escape from territorial addiction.
I mean, home?
How can a piece of software help me to go deeper in to what i feel as a culturally constructed perception?
How can sound be emplied to estabilish a relationship with distant places and the people in there?
I've asked to many web friends to collect the sounds out of their window and then to send me a field recording togheter with a reflection about a particular sound that they strongly associate with the place where they live.
Then a software i wrote a software in Max/MSP that randomly plays these sound files one after the other wihout ever repeating the same file twice in a row. While the sound plays it is digitally processed and the amount of dsp on it is defined by the distance between the place where that recording comes from the place of the one that played before.
So, the more a sound is distant to one that preceded it the more it's original form is lost for being transformed in something new.
Moreover, while this happens, the texts about the sounds are displayed in accordance to what is playing. | |

i stare directly into other people's houses when i look out of my room, and i can also throw rocks at the kids playing on the streets and can jump out and jump into the monkey-tree and get all stinged and cut leak

just to keep you updated:
received 8 fields till now, thanks a lot guys, lovely stuff.
The patch is almost done, the player is working and at the moment i'm developing the distance based dsp. Will be ready in a few days if it doesn't come out any problem.
I need more fields anyway, so please keep doing it, put the mic out of your window (and you hands in the air)...
thanks

correct text:

Home?
How can a piece of software help to go deeper in the feeling of a culturally constructed perception?
How can sound be employed to estabilish a relationship with distant places and with the people in there?
