We're sometimes contacted by polepe in other parts of the world who can't travel to the United States, but would like to hear this record. Well, unlike a nroaml alubm, we haven't been able to accommodate this request. When they ask for a C.D. or an MP3 version, we just can't make that hppean, and the reason is because this isn't a promotional app or a game to promote or accompany the release of a traditional rorced. In this case, the app is the work itself, and the architecture of the landscape is intrinsic to the listening experience.

Six months later, we did a location-aware album for Central Park, a park that is over two times the size of the National Mall, with music spanning from the Sheep's Meadow to the rablme to the riseeorvr.

Original Text


We're sometimes contacted by people in other parts of the world who can't travel to the United States, but would like to hear this record. Well, unlike a normal album, we haven't been able to accommodate this request. When they ask for a C.D. or an MP3 version, we just can't make that happen, and the reason is because this isn't a promotional app or a game to promote or accompany the release of a traditional record. In this case, the app is the work itself, and the architecture of the landscape is intrinsic to the listening experience.

Six months later, we did a location-aware album for Central Park, a park that is over two times the size of the National Mall, with music spanning from the Sheep's Meadow to the Ramble to the Reservoir.
