The Public Sound
Objects (PSOs) . is a Shared Sonic Environment, for experimental music available as an installation or as a web based system. It is targeted to the
general Public and it dos not require previous music knowledge. A user can join collaborative performance using a "Bouncing Ball Java Interface"
by manipulating Sound Objects in a central soundserver. The project was originaly created by Álvaro Barbosa during his visiting research period at the MTG - Barcelona. Since September 2007 PSOs became a permanent installation at Casa da Música and is presently located at "Sala Renascença". Since then, the project development has been undertaken by CITAR - Porto. O Trovão - Is a 3D Animation Short Film produced at UCP - Escola das Artes, featuring many experimental techniques in order to achieve a stylistic visual style complemented with a sonic and musical environment that converged to a highly gratifying result. The team that produced this project included faculty members and students from UCP, as well as a group of independent musicians from Porto working on the Closing Theme "Thunder Surf" (André Hollanda, Pedro Vidal, Eurico Amorim and André Indiana).
