Fort Wayne musician Kurt Roembke has added another dimension to his technological skill set and his composing capabilities with the development of a free mobile app that turns physical locations into sonic environments to explore.
All that a virtual explorer needs to enjoy Roembke’s new SoundWalk is a smart phone, headset and walking shoes.
It’s called SoundWalk, and in essence, that is what the explorer can expect to enjoy as they make their way around town.
The first site chosen to represent in this manner was the Little Turtle Memorial at Lawton Place, in Fort Wayne.
Earlier this week, WBOI’s Julia Meek got Roembke off of the trail and into the studio to talk about his emerging world of spatial audio and explain how the project evolved as well as how the system works.
