A MORE BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY Launch Event as part of Intersection Festival

A More Beautiful Journey is transforming Toronto public transit. With work by over 30 Toronto-based musicians, ensembles, and sound artists, this custom augmented reality app offers TTC riders generative, site-specific soundtracks for their commutes.

Through their smartphones, users experience ambient songs, soundscapes, and scores for TTC buses and streetcars. Sounds evolve in response to the shifting environment.

In honour of the centennial anniversary of the Toronto Transit Commission and ArtworxTO: Toronto’s Year of Public Art, the app will be available for free to TTC riders as of September 1, 2022 at: https://amorebeautifuljourney.ca/
