Exurbia is a digital sound-editing program where users compose individual sound-works from a shared collection of sound samples.
The program has four distinct features:
- The interface is TIME-INTENSIVE, being predominantly aural and executed in real time;
- Editing is DESTRUCTIVE (i.e. there is no 'undo' feature);
- All of the source materials (i.e. the sound samples) are SHARED among all users.
- Each edit on a single user's computer impacts every instance of a single file throughout the Exurbia COMMUNITY.
