Das Navigationssystem Through Sound ist ein neues akkustisches GPS Orientierungsverfahren, welches dynamisch kompositionelle Musikmethoden bei Live-Aufführungen unterstützt. Hauptziel ist, dem Publikum beim Verständnis von und Genuss an elektroakkustischer Musik Unterstützung zu leisten. Es bietet somit eine erweiterte surround-sound (umgebungsakkustische) Erfahrung, inspiriert durch die Erkenntnisse aus visuell sensorischen Systemen in Planetarien und 3-D Kinos. Der Künstler / Komponist als "Kapitän des Schiffes" kontrolliert die Schnittstelle, angeregt durch die Schiffahrt, das "Klang-Steuerrad" und nimmt das Publikum mit auf eine akkustische Reise zu Haltepunkten an speziellen Orten von einzigartigem akkustischem Interesse. Dieser wissenschaftliche Blog schafft einen Kontext für ein Konzept der Navigation durch Klang und identifiziert neue wisschenschaftlich und kreativ aufkommende Fragen, die durch kreative Praxis gelöst werden können. Ausserdem werden erste praktische Umsetzungen präsentiert: "Ho" eine akkustisch-kartographische Expedition nach Vietnam voller Spaß wie auch Drama, kombiniert komponierte Klänge mit Spielmotorentechnologie.

The Navigation System Through Sound is a new sonic-GPS orientation tool created to assist dynamic compositional musical methods on a live performance. It aims to help general audiences to understand and enjoy more the language of electroacoustic music and to provide them with an enhanced surround sonic experience, inspired by that achieved on the visual sensory system in planetariums and three-dimensional cinemas. It also aims to increase the awareness, for example, on areas of sound pollution, with potential for expansion beyond typical territories of acoustic ecology. The performer/composer, as ‘the captain of the ship,’ controls the interface of a 'sound- wheel’ inspired by maritime navigation, leading audiences to an aural journey with critical stops at specific locations with unique sonic interest. This research blog provides a contextualisation for the concept of navigation through sound and identifies new research and creative questions arising, which may be solved with creative practice. It also presents its first practical implementation; a work called Ho, which is a full-of-fun, but also drama, sonic-cartographic expedition to Vietnam combining composed sounds with game engine technologies.
