  • Sound Track Derby is a co-creation project that asked users to record and /or re-mix the sounds of Derby City. Anyone taking part in the project could record the sounds of the city they experience and upload it to the project website either directly in the browser or through a dedicated email address. Participants were asked to collect audio samples from across the city on dedicated recording devices, mobile phones and smart phones. Audio samples could be submitted in any audio format and then converted on the fly to mp3 via FFmpeg. Uploaded samples were made immediately available in the mixing tool for visitors to use in their mixes. Particpants could then link their mixes to their Facebook and Twitter accounts, asking their friends and followers to vote on their tracks and to get involved with the project.

    At the time of writing this article the project had received 945 audio samples and over 200 tracks have been created.
