A bit about me…
The AudioNomad project can be defined as a virtual and/or augmented audio reality systems that adopts a naturalistic or landscape metaphor of our sonic experiences, operating via a metaphor of sonic-cartography to co-locate virtual audio with physical features of the environment.
The AudioNomad system generates three main types of projects; location-aware, surround-sound installations mounted on ships or other large mobile platforms; Museum or Gallery installations with interactive map based interfaces and immersive surround sound and mobile handheld devices for individual pedestrian use in the environment

AudioNomad for beginners….
In AudioNomad sound functions conceptually to reveal information or create an aesthetic effect, simultaneously immersing and situating the auditor. AudioNomad comprises a series of cross-disciplinary art and science projects working with the concept of GPS-driven, location-based audio applications. The project outcomes generally take the form of artworks (interactive installations and exhibits) that enable a user or audience to experience a virtual audio world that is intended to be perceived as though it was situated within the real world, in such a manner that the user experiences the synthetic sounds as apparently originating from real objects. The audio content often entails a combination of oral histories, archival audio, local historical information, field recordings and music related to the general cultural context and specific site locations. The outcome is a culturally significant, temporary artifact, generated by a creative synthesis of novel location-based audio composition tools, global positioning systems, audio technologies, and software engineering.
