Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

The proposed installation intends to display aurally the diversity of sounds of the Iguazu River located in the state of Paraná, south of Brasil. Through an interactive geolocalized soundmap hosted in: www.sonsdorioiguazu.art.br any participant can access and with the click of a mouse and hear a work composed out of the different audios recorded there. A text and an image will help contextualize each location for further understanding since there are some audio testimonies in Portuguese and Kaingang an indigenous language as well as other particular considerations such as level of water, meteorological conditions, organizations involved, among many others that are vital for the full understanding and enjoyment of the project.
