The project’s focus is the valorisation and the mediation of the
capabilities of music as an urban identification tool. The interaction
between music and urban texture (identity, political symbolism, mental
determination, imagination) should be made accessible to academic and to
a wide audience through interactive Visual Analytic Technologies.
