User:Eleni/Special Issue 25/Soundmap
The idea for this project came to me after taking part in the second Broadcast on Radio Worm, for the Special Issue 25. We had collected so many field recordings from all around the city of Rotterdam, and I wanted to create a dynamic archive centered around them. Coinsidentally, in the same month I came across this tutorial on how to make a DIY soundmap . Everything clicked in my mind and I started the project as a past time in October. With the help of Sevgi and Imre it turned into something much bigger! đ

Initial Version
It only took a few hours of working with the tutorial to realize that I wouldn't be able to customize the map or the popups, since the final result would be an <iframe> in my html. Alas, I was not deflatedâ the plan simply changed. We went truly DIY. However, I am providing the steps I took in case you, the reader of this monologue, would like to make your own soundmap sweat-free. PS. Don't fret! I will be providing a full tutorial of how I made the final, fully customizable version further below!
Steps taken
- Signed up to UMAP and created a new map
- Customized the map, centered it on Rotterdam
- Created a csv file on cerealbox, where the data would go
- Linked the csv file to the UMAP
- Created HTML page on the cerealbox and embeded the map
Result
Next Steps:
As I stated above, I had to scrap the whole progress, as my expectations for the project had started getting higher.
