Additions 4/11/04:

Soundwalks -- Guided Tours of New York from a hipster perspective.

Digital Soundscape -- Creation of a digital soundscape around the Anchor Park Station and Tram Museum. Distributed location specific sounds distributed to 30 speakers. "Brings Museum to Life."

Location-Based Playlist Switching -- This guy is doing cool things with switching music tracks based on where he is located..."as i run in areas that have steep hills i want hard rock, when i am running in the flat areas i tend to prefer hip hop." Nice, but very specific to an individual.

Study of Headphones in Social Context -- This work by Michael Bull studies how people perceive the environment differently when wearing headphones. "[Wearing Headphones] helps keep the world at bay and reclaim some space.

-- "Consumers can tailor the music stream by pressing a button on their phone to indicate they like or dislike a song. "It's self-learning. The channel will adapt over time," Ashcroft said, adding wireless carriers are expected to charge a monthly fee of between 10 to 15 euros for the service."

sound sticker -- "Transient Embedded Audio and the Rescoring of Social Space". Nice project at UCLA Design that is using ultra-portable MP3 players to allow people to layer a type of aural graffiti on a space.
