Herzliche Einladung zum Workshop!

in der ESC im LABOR, Jakoministrasse 16 und im Freien 
Beginn: Donnerstag, 14.6., 14.00
mit Enrique Tomas, Entwickler von NoTours
Workshopsprache: englisch

For this special workshop, noTours has been adapted in a way that you
can attach sounds to the real time location of any satellite (real
or virtual), so when it passes over your head audience will be able to
listen to your audios... for any place on the surface of the Earth!
                     
Come and see how this hack works, experiment with
satellites and sounds, and leave your messages attached to a
satellite!  

*NoTours* proposes an augmented aurality experience. In other words, you
can add a new layer of reality to your place. You can leave messages, tell
stories, create geolocated concerts or just share your thoughts.

NoTours  permits a listener to enter and investigate a musical composition
as though it were a physical structure.
By attaching instruments, voices, sampled sounds and generated effects in
layers upon a landscape, a unique means of listening to music can be
designed.
A combination of sounds - composed and distributed virtually around a place
- with GPS data about the listener’s location and movement recreate the
music in a unique way for each listener.
noTours can be been used in diverse ways to augment and shift the way we
hear the sounds of a place. You can leave messages, tell stories about the
surroundings or build a musical composition invisibly into a landscape.

*NoTours* is a project by
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noToursDemo.escoitar>
Escoitar.org <http://www.escoitar.org> that allows editing a place with
sounds. This means that you can attach sounds to a territory and that
later, when you go physically to that place you can listen to them. The
trick is using our noTours Android Application that detects your location
(via GPS) and plays your audios exactly in the place where you decided.
