Various locations

Students in David Bird's graduate seminar MUSI 45022: "Composing for Spatial Audio" have written site-specific compositions for the University of Chicago campus. These compositions will be accessible Friday, February 3rd through Friday, March 3rd, through the Echoes mobile app. When the Echoes app is open, you will see a map of each sonic location. As you progress, sounds will activate and begin playing based on your location. The project can be accessed on the Echoes website.

Spectral Ecologies features contributions by: Xiaofeng Dong, Ryan Garvey, Krystal Egbuchulam, Sherry Guo, Gabi Kinlock, Benjamin Martin, Gasira Timir, and Kari Watson.
