– Audiomented Space is a collection of ten-minute, pop music mash-up tracks composed inadvertently by participants as they wandered aimlessly through downtown Providence. Using Max/MSP and GPS, we customized a program that mapped a pop song to each block of downtown Providence. The program ran in a 'carry case', which each participant wore on her walk through the city. Based on her path, she composed a unique mash-up track, which she simultaneously listened to on her headphones. The mash-ups blend songs across overlapping 'sound-regions', sometimes falling off the map, sometimes skipping and repeating when strides are abrupt. We made a CD and map for each mashup (below), so others can re-enact participants' audiomented experiences.
