Create a Sacred Space

Space No. 1

About Sacred Spaces

This is a work in progress for developing web-based music works for playback on multiple devices. My thought is that many people have multiple computing devices (e.g., laptops, desktops, phones, tablets) that they can use to setup a Sacred Space listening environment, either on their own or with their friends and family. The works are designed for playback on whatever devices are available: they do not have to be of the same type or sonic character. Listeners may setup the devices however they like for their space and decide how to interact with the environment: to sit, walk through, walk away and listen from afar, and so on.

Creating a Sacred Space

1. Load this web page on available computing devices. Devices must have web browsers capable of running WebAssembly and WebAudio.
2. Load the desired Sacred Space work from the Create a Sacred Space section. This will load up a separate web page that contains the audio and visuals to run for that space.
3. Place the device in a location of your choosing. Repeat with each device.
4. Experiment with loudness, placement, direction, and other aspects for your device.

Use the space as you desire: stay in one location, move around, move to another room and return, and so on. Each instance of a space playing on each device is dynamically created for a unique spatial experience.
