Roundware: a new approach to locative apps and sound art; Halsey Burgund in interview with Hamish Sewell
Halsey Burgund is a fellow at the MIT Open Documentary Lab where he researches new forms of audio documentary. For the past decade, his work has focused on contributory location-based audio installations. His app, Roundware (https://roundware.org/), is an open-source audio augmented reality platform for collecting, organizing and re-presenting audio via smartphones and the web. Using

This project presents a simultaneous sound walk in the National Garden of Athens paired with an online map exploring embodied cognition through art and action, featuring texts by Will Kymlicka, Sue Donaldson, and others inspired by *Zoopolis*. Developed by the Research Group on Art and Embodied Cognition and accessible via CGeomap, the walk was part of the Analogio Festiva at the 48th Book Festival of Athens 2019.
• Sonidos Rituales
Sonidos Rituales is an augmented paper map with locative soundscapes, developed by GPSM Lab and noTours for the Museum of the Americas in Madrid. It offers an immersive acoustic walk through the museum gardens, guiding visitors to follow sounds of traditional Andean musical instruments linked to predefined sound nodes on the map.
• Resounding Cities (Athens, Lisbon, Brussels)
Resounding Cities was a collaborative project examining urban rituals through workshops in Athens, Brussels, and Lisbon, resulting in sound maps and sound walks. The project involved international contributions and culminated in an interactive audiovisual map and a collective sound walk presented at the 2015 Athens Science Festival.

• Listening to each other / Einander zuhören – Stadt – (Ge)Schichten was a sound project, simultaneous happening in Athens, Dresden and Essen involving researchers, sound artists, art students and collectives of the cities.
Through workshops and creative collaboration we accomplished to explore the relation between residents and their sonic environment by creating a series of sound maps and soundwalks. The result was an acoustic cartography about places, people and their mutual connections. The project was based on the open-source locative media platform “noTours”, that accommodates interactive and site-specific sound narratives.
The perception of space was transformed through the creation of an augmented aurality, while wandering within an aurally augmented city revealed inaudible soundscapes and personal narratives.
The project resulted 600 recordings that resulted in ten different soundwalk-areas over the whole city centre of Athens, offering the walker/listener the possibility to wander through them on an intuitive and non-linear way, by using noTours, a locative media platform that facilitates creation of sound walks that are intuitive, allowing re-composition of the soundscapes through chosing own trajectories by the walkers, creating with every walk a new sound experience.
Evading from the city-panorama model, usually thought as an eminent visual, pan-optic and geometric model, delineated by urbanists and cartographers, the artists elaborated new sensible itineraries that question the urban lay out, usually considered as an univocal space.
The project was curated by noTours member Geert Vermeire and was accomplished with the collaboration with escoitar.org and Fonés collectives.
Artists in Athens: Zoi Arvaniti, Marios Vouros, Sofia Grigoriadou, Maria Methimaki, Dana Papachristou, Parasyri Mariza, Poka, Stefanos Souvatzoglou.
