The Geography of Music
Short description: Various ways of finding the sound of a city
Uses: last.fm, echonest, youtube and openstreetmaps.
Names: Erik Borra (aka @erik_) & Esther Weltevrede
Description:
The geography of music is not about personalization, its about discovering new music. Exploratory recommendation if you will, finding new music by querying local music cultures.
Before the internet, music cultures often emerged from or were popularized in a specific location. Think for example of trip hop scene which originated in Bristol, and the grunge scene which came from the Seattle area and arguably gained a crowd in the Dutch venue scene. Even though music proliferates with digital media, this project starts from the question: how do the current local music cultures sound? We found, counter intuitively maybe, with the recommendation and popularity mechanisms of the web, it is often difficult to find local music
Three ways to think about local music cultures: what’s being produced, listened to and performed on a particular location. We've made a website which allows one to search each and provides the user with a video playlist of all the music thus found.

RJDJ Scene: Caribou - Sun (Carry-boo Reality Remix)
This is the reality RJDJ remix scene of Caribou's 'Sun' for iPhone and iPod Touch. Fade the drums in and out by rolling the device upside down. Try adding voice harmonies by tilting the device towards you. And use the compass data to pan the organ from left to right by pointing the device in different directions. North is pan left, south is pan right. Last but not least add some reality effects all the way through using the wonderful 'Eargasm' that turns everyday sounds into beautiful space-filled chords.
The scene was created using the RJC1000 with some additional coding in Pure Data, the language behind the RJC1000 and all the RJDJ scenes. All info and tools for the RJC1000 can be found at http://bit.ly/rjdjmhd
All the stems were taken from Caribou's SoundCloud account - http://soundcloud.com/caribouband/sets/sun-remix-competition-parts - and cut up to 1, 4 and 8 bar loops using Reaper.

Table Viewer
A sensor table projector for ad-hoc groups to compare and be surprised by each others' music taste.
A table rig with a top projector and a PS3 camera to use fiduciary markers to scan locations of tangibles, feed the locations into our own app, retrieve interesting information and display that in a pleasing way.
reactiVision for the tracking of the fiduciary markers. Twisted for being network intermediary, retrieving extra data and mashing it together again. Quartz composer for receiving it and displaying stuff in an easy (but crashy way).
A web service that does some mining and caching on last.fm data for usernames with prototype visualizations:
http://clusterfm.appspot.com/randommap/
http://clusterfm.appspot.com/weightmap/
for users and their top artists.
