MTV has just left the building

Nov 16, 2009 in Anthropology of Sound, Essay, Popular Culture, Sound & Vision, Sound Studies


Jährlich im September sind MTV’s Video Music Awards – entweder in New Yorks altehrwürdiger Radio City Music Hall oder dem Gibson Amphitheatre von Los Angeles – die Vollversammlung amerikanischer Popkultur. Alles trifft sich hier, reflektiert sich, das vergangene Jahr wird selbstironisch aufgearbeitet. Jede und jeder, der als MusikerIn, SängerIn, ModeratorIn oder Showstar die medialen Bühnen des Pop betrat, muss sich an seiner öffentlichen Wirkung als mediale Person messen lassen: Der Nockherberg, der Karnevalsumzug, das Silvesterkabarett der US-amerikanischen und so stets globalen Popkultur.


Mehr: MTV has just left the building.

Locative audio media: You mix when you move

Looping musical phrases are represented on a map as overlapping circular territories. As the vehicle approaches the center of a circle, the volume increases. In areas of the map where territories overlap the vehicle generates dynamic mixes of the overlapping musical phrases. By exploring a very large map of many overlapping territories the Beatmap creates complex, dynamic mash-ups.

The map can be explored on foot, by plane, boat, train, or automobile. In this footage the map is explored by car on the Bonneville Salt Flats, allowing the user to freely accelerate, swerve, and slam to a stop for optimum musical control of the instrument.
