This protocol is based on the field recording collection and artistic sound map project Radio Aporee. You can listen to an audio introduction of the project here.


gather

  • Go to Radio Aporee's and select the map interface
  • Starting from a place you know, find a recording that triggers a personal memory
  • download the sound
  • click on Share and copy the link
  • Create a (sub)page on the wiki for the sound, and paste the link
  • Upload the sound to the wiki page.
  • record yourself speaking the "meta data" of the recording from the aporee site
  • record your description of the memory
  • Upload and place these recordings on your wiki page.
  • Place the [[Category:Field recording]] category on your wiki page.

perform

  • View the page Category:Field recording
  • Working alphabetically, select the first recording.
  • Play the original sound.
  • After an appropriate time start playing the metadata recording at the same time. Use the volume control in the audio player to adjust the mix.
  • Once the metadata recording has stopped, and again after an appropriate pause, start playing the memory recording. If the original sound stop playing you may decide to restart it.
  • Once the memory recording has finished, and at your discretion, stop any audio and return to the category page. Select the next item and repeat.
