[IF YOU WERE HERE] Created by Kevin McVey

IF YOU WERE HERE is an interactive exploration of Soundscape Architecture focusing upon the unique sonic qualities of different locations on the historic Lawn of the University of Virginia.

SPECTRUM

To explore how some locations on the Lawn augment your uploaded audio, please click one of the highlighted locations on the Lawn to the right.

Currently available locations include:
Rotunda dome room, Rotunda steps, Cryptoporticus, Arcade, Upper Lawn, and Lower Lawn.

STOP ALL SOUNDS



This application takes uploaded audio files and modifies them to sound as they would if they had been recorded at various locations around the Academical Village.

Please use the form below to upload a valid .wav file. For best performance, a sample of five seconds or less is recommended.


If you do not have any samples to test, feel free to use my voice instead!

Special thanks to the Jefferson Trust and Professor Karen Van Lengen for their support of this project
