This is a first attempt at mapping in software, interfaced with a cheap homemade imitation of mind-control hardware using wii remote embedded in a cycle helmet, while improvising on the Viola.
The field recordings were made on the Llyn Peninsular in Wales UK and on the tram in Vienna on the way to visit the grave of Gustav Mahler. Recorded this summer, intended for a prototype in audio maps for networked exploration of places in online virtual soundscapes and in performance. 2 simultaneous 'sound-maps' each containing 25 field recordings are mixed from Left Right Up Down commands from the head.
I'm interested in the simulation of several thoughts at once and how mind control hardware ( http://www.emotiv.com/ ) can cope with plural thinking i.e the ability to mentally visualise impossible things and make them into controllers for digital art.
