score for here vs Drift Audio

Take a stroll in the Los Angeles State Historic Park and let your desired path determine your wayfinding and compose your sonic experience of the site. Score for Here is a site-specific sonic experience using modified field recordings and samples composed through geolocation. A graphic score based on the site's blueprint–paths, landscaping, open spaces–designates each sound element’s geofenced triggering zone while each visitor’s navigation of the site functions as an aleatory compositional principle. Score for Here invites Los Angeles State Historic Park visitors to compose sound in real time as they navigate the park. The experience is streamed on the user’s mobile connection and can be enjoyed with a pair of headphones. Signage is placed at the park with a QR code to download the app on a smartphone, and features the park’s grounds interpreted as a graphic score. Considering this kind of geolocative software is traditionally designed to guide and direct, Score for Here repurposes it as an aleatory compositional principle that inspires divergence. The app will remain available on-site indefinitely and will change overtime while the database of usable samples continues to grow. Rather than a seamless, finished artwork for consumption, the work is a morphing proposition, a catalyst for speculation and potential transformation.

Record any sound, then play it back by dragging across a living terrain. Your recording becomes the landscape — loud moments rise into ridges, quiet moments stay flat. Touch the surface and it transforms your sound into something new. HOW IT WORKS Record from the microphone — voice, instruments, ambient noise, anything up to 10 seconds. Drift listens and names your recording automatically. Each sample appears with a miniature terrain preview showing its unique shape. Tap a recording to enter the canvas: a reactive surface that deforms under your touch. Drag horizontally to move through your sample. Drag vertically to shift pitch — high at the top, slow and deep at the bottom. Press harder for a thick, layered wash. Press lighter for delicate, scattered fragments. The surface responds like a physical material. Your finger pushes into it, surrounding lines ripple outward and spring back. A trail follows your gesture and fades. When you're not playing, the terrain breathes — peaks sway, flat areas drift — so it always feels alive. Put down a second finger and a second voice appears. Hold a sustained tone with one hand while exploring with the other. Each finger has its own position, pitch, and intensity. FEATURES · Record up to 10 seconds from the microphone · Play back by touch — position, pitch, and intensity all respond to your finger · Two fingers, two independent voices · Terrain shaped by your recording — every sample looks different · The surface ripples, breathes, and springs back · Automatic naming using on-device sound recognition · Built-in reverb and delay · No account, no internet, everything stays on your device
