Archipelodio is It is an immersive audio app that connects listeners in an artificial network. It is an experimentation in generative sound composition. In the system, the simple act of being a listener with a particular geolocalisation is a determining factor to generate the real-time evolution of the composition over time. The composition is created from a growing database of processed and non-processed field recordings from Hong Kong, and voices of the city taken from local films’ dialogues.
As a sound-walk, the work creates an alternative fluid world in which all listeners are connected through a network that conducts the real time processing of the sounds and their spatialisation in 3D audio; it invites listeners to rediscover the city through a narrative unfolding though their direct audio-visual experience as well as through the voiced possible fragments of fictions.
