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 created by Álvaro Barbosa during his visiting research period at the MTG - Barcelona.
