About the Project
Maps are tools for understanding the world from different points of view - political, cultural, personal, and historical. Maps hold the power to shape the truth about the world and mapmakers shape the future. The NYSoundmap is a container - a concept or idea to hold many types of processes and projects. The project reaches across the city's geographic, economic, educational, cultural and racial divides. It is at once a historical record and a subjective representation of the city. It is what each user wishes it to be and it is ever growing, ever changing and totally interactive.

 

Participants
The lead artists of the NYSoundmap project are all members of The New York Society for Acoustic Ecology (NYSAE). We share a common fascination with sound and its connection to place and space. Our distinct creative practices have contemplated and reconfigured our environment and our roles within it. These practices form the basis of our collective voice in the NYsoundmap project. <more>

NYSAE
The New York Society for Acoustic Ecology (NYSAE) is a membership organization dedicated to exploring the role of sound in natural habitats and human societies, and promoting public dialog concerning the identification, preservation, and restoration of natural and cultural sound environments.

Title: Atmospherics/Weather Works (2004, Andrea Polli) Soundscapes featured on the Whitney Museum’s Artport May, 2004
“Atmospherics/Weather Works is a classic example of the use of data-sets to generate / create new media art. Re-creating two historic New York / Long Island storms, the first in 1979 the second in 1991, from available data and miniaturizing them...The work aims to create a sound-space allowing users to ‘gain a deeper understanding of some of the more unpredictable complex rhythms and melodies of nature’ with none of the potential risks.” Garrett Lynch netartreview. price includes shipping.

Artist: Andrea Polli
Title: Retina Burn (2004, Andrea Polli) 27 minute composition. "In Retina Burn, soundwaves generated by the sun are manipulated by movements of the performer's eye, thereby allowing the listener to audibly 'view' the sun without the usual risk of damaged vision. The composition's low hums and fluttering sine waves combine with percussive blinks and squints to gradually move through a series of sonic dilations; a feast for the ears prepared by the eye."
-John Kannenberg, Stasisfield.
