Happy New Ears
Happy New Ears is a virtual platform for launching projects in the crossing field between new media and sound art.
Metroplex
Metroplex is a web based virtual sound walk under the theme of the city as organism. Selected composers and sound artists are invited to produce collections of sounds which present their own relation to the theme.
The listening space consists of a free-floating labyrinth structure which, each time it is visited, regenerates itself in such a way that its forms and combinations of sounds are new. The visitor is sent on a journey of exploration in a non-linear sound universe without a fixed time frame, in which he/she/they can either move about freely or pause in order to delve more deeply into a particular sound.
Metroplex is intended as a new space for web-based sound experiences; a space that allows for a restful, in depth immersion that is otherwise difficult to find on the internet.
The project was developed by Carl Emil Carlsen in dialog with Jakob Weigand Goetz with support from The Heritage Agency of Denmark and KODA (Danish society that administers Danish and international copyrights for composers, songwriters and music publishers). It was first launched in December 2008 as a pilot project for the web-based mediation of art-music and sound-art across genres and has since been subject to a number of updates.
