a musical composition application that applies spatial metaphors to create virtual field recordings

START

    ./back-rooms

  from this folder ( or double-click `back-rooms` in a file manager ). the folder can live anywhere,
  nothing needs to be installed and nothing is written outside of the resource folder.

  `./back-rooms --help` lists the command line options.

RESOURCE FOLDER

  the sample library ( `samples/` ) and projects ( `projects/` ) live in `back-rooms` inside the
  documents folder of the system ( e.g. `~/Documents/back-rooms` or `~/Dokumente/back-rooms` ). it is
  created on the first start. use `--resource-path <folder>` to pick another one.

MENU ENTRY ( optional )

    ./install.sh

  adds Back Rooms with its icon to the application menu of the desktop ( into `~/.local/share` ).
  after moving this folder run `./install.sh` again. `./uninstall.sh` removes the menu entry.

OPEN PROJECT DIALOG

  the folder dialog ( `OPEN_PROJECT` ) requires `xdg-desktop-portal` ( present on every mainstream
  desktop: GNOME, KDE, ... ) or `zenity`. without either no dialog appears, start with

    ./back-rooms --project <folder>

  instead.
