The project
A PWA for the sound heritage of Villa Ficana (Macerata), within the research line on the intangible sound heritage of the village of earthen houses, with the Villa Ficana Ecomuseum, OZ Association, Municipality of Macerata and Marche Region. Visitors move through eight narrative chapters built around the 1891 fire, with guided recording missions (the wind among the earthen houses, market voices, the sounds of daily life).
Recordings feed a geographic mixer for composing one's own soundscape of the village. Web Audio API engine with MediaRecorder recording, IndexedDB persistence, installable; works offline after the first visit (map tiles require a connection). A tool for ecomuseums and educational paths on intangible heritage.
