GPS BeatMap is a GPS-based music instrument that transforms the face of the planet into an enormous DJ booth, which was created by Face Removal Services / Jesse Stiles.
Looping musical phrases are represented on a map as overlapping circular territories. As the vehicle approaches the center of a circle, the volume increases. In areas of the map where territories overlap the vehicle generates dynamic mixes of the overlapping musical phrases. By exploring a very large map of many overlapping territories the Beatmap creates complex, dynamic mash-ups.
