SYNCWALK
Locative media experiences made by you
What is Syncwalk?

Syncwalk is a big idea that has a few meanings. I'll try to describe it in more detail as I go.

1) A Syncwalk is a walk with an extra twist: as you travel, you are accompanied by a seamless mix of songs that relate to where you are at that moment. (Who made the mix of songs? You did! Or your friend, or an artist you like, and so forth...)

2) A Syncwalk is a collection of songs with a geographical area defined for each song (or group of songs). They're transferrable and saveable, so you can share your compositions with everyone!

3) More fancily, Syncwalk is a framework for composing locative media experiences.

4) Syncwalk is also the name of the Android application for experiencing Syncwalks.

What does a typical Syncwalk look like?
Well here's an image of a Syncwalk that I made. Each purple hexagon is a song, and the shaded region it lives in is the area within which you will hear that song.
But a Syncwalk is an experience, it doesn't look like anything!
How do I take a Syncwalk?
You should email me - Syncwalk isn't in the Market yet, but I'd love to hear from you and maybe I can get you a beta copy? I'm aka @ this domain
How do I make a Syncwalk?
Create an account using the nifty interface on the right, tell me what songs you want to use, and get cracking! (But you will still need to email me to get the beta of the app) I'm aka @ this domain
