As part of our Applications presentation (see also: Dreamachine), I built Atmosfear, an atmospheric audio experience made possible by the laptops of our fellow classmates. Everyone was asked to visit the website and select a fear. Their computers then played a series of sounds, mostly taken from freesound.org, which all together created a spooky and discomforting environment for about five minutes. You can try it out yourself, though it probably won’t be as effective solo as having a hundred other people with you. For that, check out the sound clip below, which I recorded in the auditorium.
