Thomas Gerwin created the Acoustic World Atlas in 1998 at ZKM (Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie), in Karlsruhe, Germany. The concept was to document the world in sound.
People from around the world sent more than 1,100 sounds typical of where they lived. Gerwin then composed 3 - 21 second sound files that could be played via three World Sound Keyboards, where different play modes allowed a player to musically modify the original sounds.
