Location33: A Mobile Musical

In this paper, we describe a course of research investigating the potential for new types of music made possible by location tracking and wireless technologies. Listeners walk around downtown Culver City, California and explore a new type of musical album by mixing together songs and stories based on their movement. By using mobile devices as an interface, we can create new types of musical experiences that allow listeners to take a more interactive approach to an album.
