NOVARS collaborator, composer and telecommunication engineer Enrique Tomas of NoTOURS (Linz/Madrid), presented to NOVARS team some of the new software updates made for the Notours application (Android), used during last MANTIS Festival and with support by cities@manchester.
Back in June 2011, a storm of ideas after the MANTIS Sonic Metaontology project, culminated in a number of compositional suggestions to Enrique, to make the software more versatile for the type of research on exploring cities through sound at NOVARS. Five months after, and as a result of this and other workshops, he presented some powerful changes and fixes, including an offline sonic simulator with openmaps and processing
