This paper describes the realization of an interactive musical artwork for mobile devices. Conceived for participative use from advanced mobile telephones techniques from interactive music are applied to new contexts specific to mobility. The result is an abstract narrative from audiovisual media captured in urban environments. By transposing the musical act from stage to street, we displace the locus of creation and creativity, not just physically, but socially. The lessons learned from the conception of the work as piece of art point out possible new paradigms in mobile media in general, and mobile music in particular. Alongside the conceptual description, we describe the real work implementation. Geographic localization techniques feed a dynamic audio-visual content generation process. Composing for such an environment is to look at the system as musical instrument, one that is a human/technological network of elements entering into musical interaction.
