I found a great blog by a 'sound artist' with lots of posts of interactive sound maps, and the visuals that accompanied them. I found it very interesting, and picked my favourites, below.

The ISLE OF DOGS interactive piece is titled 'ISLE OF DOGS MUSIC'. You interact with it by clicking on a section of the map or on small circular bullet point, which then sometimes enlarges. The sound starts out quite quietly and i didnt even hear it at first, and thought that it wasnt workiung. This fading in was slightly amazing.

I also liked the piece titled 'ambulatincula' which was for a communal gareden, and the user picked up an MP3 player to listen to specific sounds created for the space. There is a focus on the ringing of bells which are intended to signify beginnings, endings and change i.e. birth, death and marriage. The sounds are a mix of the organic and non-organic which creates an eerie feel in certain clips. The sounds have been carefully constructed to create an emotional response. The sounds are intended to be listened to at certain times during the day.
What i like about the sounds is the serenity, and the careful construction of them. It really creates an atmnosphere, which is what i am hoping the sounds that i play at my 'tranquil space' will do.
