A Sound Journey
Blaž Pavlica
“A sound journey” is an adventure that invites children to explore environments such as a farm, a factory, a forest and a jungle. They can immerse themselves in sound environments by moving sounds in a virtual space via the touch screen and listening live to the changes on 16 speakers that through an intuitive graphic display which illustrates the sound picture through which children learn about the abstract concept of sound in space, and in an active in a playful way learn active
listening. Sounds are presented on the screen with unmarked colored balls, which encourages children to pay more attention to sounds from all directions. The installation is not narrative, but rather is set up as a sandbox that enables unstructured play and the independent creation of soundscapes.
