HOW IT WORKS

Your comprehensive guide to exploring, planting, and interacting with the global soundscape.

Reshaping the Soundscape
1
Plant Your Signal

Navigate to the map and click anywhere to open the uplink scanner. You can upload your own audio file (MP3/WAV) or choose from our library of high-quality presets. Give your signal a creative name like "Subway Jazz" or "Rain in Tokyo" to define the vibe.

2
The Neural Net (Voting System)

The map is alive and reacts to community feedback. If users Upvote your sound, its visual radius on the map physically expands, making it visible from higher altitudes (satellite view). If they Downvote it, the signal fades and shrinks.

3
Explore the Mix

As you drag and pan across the map, our "Smart Mixer" algorithm automatically detects the top audio sources in your viewport and fades them in. You don't just see the geography—you hear it in real-time.
