What’s this?
Fanfare is an interactive sound walk. This walk is only suitable for mobile phone.
You are strolling along an (imaginary) beach. Suddenly you hear a gloomy marching band play, right behind you. When you stop, they stop. As soon as you continue to walk, there they are again. Eagerly following you. Clingy. They will keep you company and play four new music compositions, one for each season.
How does it work?
1. You’ll need: a beach (or a random walkway) with mobile network access, a charged phone, and headphones. Put on your headphones with left and right on the right side. Tip: if you first open the page (button below) with WiFi, the audio will already be downloaded.
2. Important: make sure your phone’s display stays on. You can do this by regularly tapping on your screen, or better: go to Settings to ‘Display and brightness’ or ‘Display’ and extend the time of the Auto lock/Screen Timeout.
3. For iPhone users: Before you start, give permission to use the motion sensor. Click on ‘Click here to allow’ and ‘allow’. If you accidentally rejected permission, close the browser or clear the cache, reopen the page, and give permission.
4. After starting the walk, wait briefly so the audio can download. Choose sound file I Winter, press start, and start walking. If you’re at a beach, walk with the sea on your left. Walk for a while and see what happens when you stop and start walking again. Go through all four sound files successively. Have fun!
