Hearing Nano-structures: a Case Study in Timbral Sonification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore the sonification of x-ray scattering data, which are two-dimensional arrays of intensity whose meaning is obscure and non-intuitive. Direct mapping of the experimental data into sound is found to produce timbral sonifications that, while sacrificing conventional aesthetic appeal, provide a rich auditory landscape for exploration. We discuss the optimization of sonification variables, and speculate on potential real-world applications.

Using Multi-channel Spatialization in Sonification: a Case Study with Meteorological Data
Spatialization can be used in sonification as an additional mapping dimension. Immersive spatialization also transmits more auditory data to a subject, compared to monophonic or stereophonic presentation. In this study the VBAP spatialization method is applied to the sonification of meteorological data gathered from a large geographical area in two different listening conditions. Parameter-driv...
متن کاملData-to-music Api: Real-time Data-agnostic Sonification with Musical Structure Models
In sonification methodologies that aim to represent the underlying data accurately, musical or artistic approaches are often dismissed as being not transparent, likely to distort the data, not generalizable, or not reusable for different data types. Scientific applications for sonification have been, therefore, hesitant to use approaches guided by artistic aesthetics and musical expressivity. A...

Drawing on implementations of A.I. models for real-time music performance that produce an immediate sonification and visualisation display from gestural and audio input, this paper concerns three areas of relevance to a broader array of inter-domain implementation: integration of A.I. modules (Artifical Life, biologically-inspired and Evolutionary processes) in a system for real-time computatio...
متن کاملLevels of Temporal Resolution in Sonification of Network Performance
The standard “ping” utility provides a momentary measurement of round trip time. Sequences of ping events are used to gather longer-term statistics about jitter and packet loss in order to describe the quality of service of a network path. A more finegrained tool is needed to evaluate paths which carry interactive media streams for collaborative environments. Natural interaction depends on obta...
متن کاملInteractive sonification of complex data
In this paper we present two experiments on implementing interaction in sonification displays: the first focuses on recorded data (interactive navigation) and the second on data gathered in real time (auditory feedback). Complex synthesised data are explored in the first experiment to evaluate how well the known characteristics present in the data are distinguished using different interaction m...
