Shift Session Module

A dynamic strategy for soundscape manipulation and transformation within MScaper and named Shift Session Module, which allows users to experiment with the adaptive affect manipulation in soundscapes. This module automatically moves an entire session (i.e., a collection of previously selected soundscapes) according to a transformation vector in the affective plane.

For each circle, we retrieved a soundscape recording from Freesound using MScaper with the following tags:

White Circle: people

Orange Circle: cars

Purple Circle: nature

Conference Examples

The following soundscape recordings were exhibited in the presentation of paper "The Online Musical Database in/as Performance", at the conference Hidden Archives, Hidden Practices: Debates About Music-Making, Aveiro 2019.
