The Walk as Composition

Today we were written up on one of the finer music/sound blogs on the internet, Marc Weidenbaum's Disquiet. Marc is the first reviewer of our project to really address the visual design of our maps and he describes them (and our workflow) as follows:

The geolocative essence of the Urban Sound Ecology project is emphasized by those rarefied maps, which look less like real life and more like the view from an early flight-control video game. They suggest the recordings as pure document, pure data, when in fact the recordings are just as messy as real life.

It is quite flattering to have been mentioned on Disquiet – thanks for the great feedback Marc! Read the full review here.
