About us

A database approach that has to allow users to approach and explore sound events from the past, knowing the specific locations in which each landscape is located as well as the people, or other agents, that produce them. This information is presented in a cartographic way, on top of a map, which allows us to know the spatial relationships between the different events, which are also presented on a chronological axis. All this, expanded with photographic, pictorial and audiovisual material, aims to offer the user an experience as immersive and inclusive as possible with the intention of helping a better understanding of sound, music and artistic, cultural, economic and social activity. in Mallorca, establishing an aesthetic and intellectual dialogue with auditory sensory history through an interdisciplinary approach that brings together the studies of urban musicology, anthropology and other areas such as cultural history and art history.
