Bluebrain knows where you are

Imagine a record album that isn’t linear in the way it plays, but rather one that constantly reconfigures itself to where you are and what you are looking at, sort of an everchanging custom soundtrack on the fly.
It’s called “The National Mall.”

The GPS in your iPhone is how they do it and its free in the Apple APP store.
The album plays exclusively and only within the geographic confines intended by the composer, but the path you choose to walk and the things you decide to look at are what determines the music you hear.
At the moment there is an album for the National Mall in Washington DC and only for the iPhone, but Android and iPad versions are coming as are other albums for Flushing Meadow Park in Queens and a stretch of California’s famous Highway 1.
