EarMotion Sign in Try EarMotion

A map does not illustrate sound. It becomes the score.

Place sounds on a map. Each one has its zone. A listener walks through, the mix recomposes.

A line drawing of a landscape: a person wearing headphones holds a tablet showing a map of connected sound sources; across the landscape, coloured markers radiate concentric zones.
Four uses

One file, four ways to make it heard

The same map, at another scale and with another gesture. You move between them without rewriting anything. (Section pages are in French.)

01 / Scale

From gesture to territory

A few centimetres on a screen, a few metres in a room, or thirty kilometres. The file does not change.

Gesture / Screen Mouse or finger. This is where you write.
Body Headphones. Sound turns around the head.
Room The floor plan. Zones become places.
Building Several rooms, one map.
City GPS. You really walk.
Landscape Kilometres. The projection adapts.

Maps to listen to

Each one opens in the browser. The thumbnail is drawn from the map: one dot per sound, one patch per zone.

02 / Atlas

Ten fields

Where placing sound in space changes something.

01

Creation

A work that exists only by being walked through.

02

Narrative

A story ordered by the path, not by a running time.

03

Heritage

A field collection played back where it was made.

04

Education

A lesson listened to while walking. Embeddable in Moodle.

05

Health & well-being

Soundscapes that follow the hour and the room. A listening setting, not a medical device.

06

Memory & older adults

The sounds of a familiar place. Mediation, not treatment.

07

Accessibility

A sound that points a direction.

08

Environment

Geolocated recordings, walked through by ear.

09

Architecture & territory

A development you hear before and after.

10

Research

Listening in motion as an object of study.

03 / Ecosystem
