Walkie Talkie Dream Angles

download, walk, listen.

Augmented Audio soundwalk in Washington Square Park, NYC powered by U-GRUVE AR.

Walkie Talkie Dream Angles is an electroacoustic composition and interactive sound walk for Washington Square Park by Dafna Naphtali — traversing sonically interesting corners of the park to underscore the loss of quiet, past and future sounds, bringing a favorite urban environment to life, in a sonically unique and individual way. Processed pre-recorded environmental sounds are layered with voice, and some thoughtful strategizing about site-specific listening, interactivity and attention span.

LAUNCHED 2016, available 24/7 (or whenever the park is open) indefinitely!
UPDATE: 4-28-21  temporarily under maintenance..

Walkie Talkie Dream Angles was created for U-GRUVE AR, a mobile device app and Audio Augmented Reality platform created by creative technologist Richard Rodkin of Memetic Arts, which enables the creation of interactive soundtracks for public spaces using listener/participants phones and GPS sensors to trigger geo-tagged musical outcomes to predefined zones in the targeted environment.

Audio Chandelier: multi-channel sound performance (Dafna Naphtali) in New York on Mon, Jun 13, 2016

 

AUDIO CHANDELIER  -individual grains of nearly static sound dispersed to various speakers throughout the gallery and altered as granular synthesis illuminates and refracts moments in time.  Each of this set of pieces use field recordings and audio samples processed as one “grain” is sent to each speaker available.   By manipulating the grains of sound  (which remain static in each speaker)  a surprising array of sounds and environments are created — from shimmering motion to reverberant spaces, to low crashing waves, to hyper-electronics refraction of sound.    The pieces have been presented as multi-channel fixed media, an interactive performance piece, and as a laptop orchestra piece (with an upcoming version for smartphones)
