Soundwwwalks are an emerging genre of live browser-based performances using <embed> improvisation, plugin sound-collage and multitab mixing, shamelessly blending the traditions of pro-surfing, Soundwalk composition and laptop music.
The performances take the audience on a sonic Detour through the World Wide Web. A Soundwwwalk considers the act of surfing the World Wide Web as form of sonic action.
The artists either perform their Soundwwwalks themselves on stage or transmit their notation, sometimes in real time, to a local interpreter operating the browser.
All performances follow the Soundwwwalk One-Line-Manifesto: “All sound sources must be played in a browser, must not be self-produced and must be publicly accessible.”
So far performed by Peter Moosgaard, Julian Palacz, Will Schrimshaw, Constant Dullaart, Joel Holmberg and Bernhard Garnicnig at iMAL Brussels, Worm Rotterdam and Raum D / Museumsquartier Vienna.
