  • Sonic place - a sonic augmented reality soundscape experience
    Publication . Carvalho, José; Perrotta, André; Martins, Luís
    This paper describes the conceptualization, technical and artistic development and the first results of the Sonic Place project. Sonic Place is an ongoing project centered in the relationship between the cultural heritage, sonic identity and sonic memories of specific places. Presenting both artistic and scientific objectives, the project tries to promote sonic ecology awareness and explores new technological possibilities for listening and discovering soundscape compositions. The project proposes a sonic augmented reality experience of current and past soundscapes that can be experienced by the use of a custom made mobile application. The project was presented at the 18th Biennial of Cerveira in Vila Nova de Cerveira, Portugal, 2015 and on the 6th Semibreve Festival in Braga, Portugal, 2016. In total, more than 100 on site recordings were made, 20 musical compositions were developed and 224 users experienced the application.

  • Soundserver: data sonification on-demand for computational
    Publication . Cardoso, Jorge C. S.; Carvalho, José; Teixeira, Luis Miguel Lopes; Barbosa, Álvaro
    The rapid accumulation of large collections of data has created the need for efficient and intelligent schemes for knowledge extraction and results analysis. The resulting information is typically visualized, but it may also be presented through audio techniques such as sonification. Sonification techniques become especially interesting when the client application runs on graphically limited devices such as mobile phones or PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants). In this paper we present an architecture for a sonification server that will be used in the Sound Data Mining project. In this project sound will be used to increase perception and present information extracted by spatial data mining techniques. The server is based on an audio synthesis engine and will relieve clients with little audio synthesis capabilities from the burden of sound processing. By providing sonification modules, this server can potentially be used on a variety of applications where sonification techniques are required
