Brian House, an artist at New York’s Eyebeam Art and Technology Center, has turned geographical movements into music for his latest project the Quotidian Record.

House used OpenPaths to record his every move during the daily commute in New York as well as while exploring the vast wilderness of Colorado. The culmination of a year’s worth of movement was then translated from House’s Geo Data to form a musical composition. Certain cities and areas were given different keys, while frequently visited locations were assigned notes on the music scale, creating the melody. This project allowed House to distill a years worth of memories into an physical, eleven minute music piece, of which only ten were created.

The resurgence of Vinyl has seen some innovative uses such as the Wooden Record, the Fisher Price Record and the X-Ray Record, but like Yuri Suzuki's Sound of the Earth, the Quotidian Record explores a geographical narrative using an abstract, audible format.
