Ambient Addition is a Walkman with binaural microphones. A tiny
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) chip analyzes the microphone's sound
and superimposes a layer of harmony and rhythm on top of the
listener's world. In the new context, some surprising behaviors take
place. Listeners tend to play with objects around them, sing to
themselves, and wander toward tempting sound sources. With Ambient
Addition, I'm hoping to make people think twice about the sounds they
initiate as well as loosen up some inhibitions.
