Introduction

This module requires me to create a prototype project, which will eventually lead to a final project, that reflects an idea based around something interactive in relation to sound. The first lecture discussed sound in a form of "sound space". This interests me in the idea that sound and music can be more than just a structural "song, composition, or film/T.V/game". It is still very broad however in what it is I can do. The second lecture covered a more specific idea of mobile creations or creations created using mobile technology. That included personal recorders and mobile apps. This interested me more as it also covered Binaural Microphones which I have an interest in.

I first came across Binaural Microphones when listening to a piece of audio that gave you the impression you were getting your hair cut called 'Virtual Barber Shop' (see link below). When remembering this I had a few ideas on how to create an interactive space that could simulate a similar experience like that. As this is my main idea I want to explore at the moment, my first task is to research further into Janet Cardiff, who explores the idea of using Binaural Microphones and interactive guides.
