City Sonic

As the nexus of Canadian music, the city has been enriched by wave after wave of homegrown and international musicians. Its stages, streets and alleys resonate with the notorious jams, numbing heartaches, and lucky breaks that are the city’s musical DNA. City Sonic is a new, multi-platform music series that delivers these stories straight into the hands of today’s music fans, wherever they are: online, on TV, and on their mobile phones. Each film tells the story of one musician and their shared history with a legendary Toronto music venue. City Sonic creates a new level of engagement with the city through location-based storytelling and a gaming component built around the new generation of mobile phones. The City Sonic Mobile Guide (available for download here: http://www.citysonic.tv/mobile-app/) is a ten page guide intended to help documentary producers gain insight into some of the considerations and challenges that come with producing content for mobile delivery specifically film and video content.
