My project #2 idea is a music player that allows the user to listen to songs written about or inspired by the neighbourhood they are in. I believe this would augment the user’s perception of their location by inviting them to view it through the lens of a musician who felt it was worth writing about. The songs may choose to exalt or honour or describe or attack or cherish or reminisce etc the location. It may draw attention to things unnoticed, or create atmosphere where there wasn’t any. The music would probably occupy all sound space and obscure background noise present at the location. Although this re-frames how the user experience their surroundings, I think this is a perfectly ethical and very much treasured quality about music. Music is able to shift a user’s perception of time, space, thought, or emotion. It may uplift their mood, it may increase their heart rate, it may highlight the nuances of human experience. This is ultimately a positive relationship for the user and the location as the user is more informed with the music player than without. The music player can enhance the user’s perception/knowledge of their surrounding when hearing about it through the voice of another.
