Interface for a sound walk

The image depicts a lively urban scene featuring a fountain in a public square. In the background, colorful sculptures are visible, creating a vibrant atmosphere. There are people around, with one person sitting by the fountain, seemingly engaged with their phone. In the foreground, a hand holds a smartphone displaying the app "Ircam Circus." The setting appears to be bright and inviting, with hints of artistic flair in the sculptures and overall environment.

Ircam Circus is a playful and artistic sound experience that establishes a connection between the Stravinsky Fountain and Ircam. This immersive stroll invites the listener to explore the basin, to sit down, to get closer, and to rediscover the sculptures from a different angle, all while changing perspectives to observe the surrounding architectural elements in a new way.

Visitors can access the content by scanning a QR code, which redirects them to a web app that is directly accessible from their smartphones. The interface is fully responsive, adapting to nearly all screen sizes.

We developed this interface with our friends from Mosquito. The entire setup is built using SPIP, in both French and English.

One trick involved creating a video (using DaVinci Resolve) for each audio recording, displaying animated waveforms.
