Spider Music - Web Sonification
(1/1)
DrG:
This is kind of entertaining - of course they could have arranged the sonification parameters to maximize the "creepiness" of the result :)
I once sonified (?) results from a data logger using some canned program...it was kind of cool and I could hear differences resulting from cloudy days and so on. I remember this TED talk where she made a pretty good case for data sonification on a personal level.

In fact, didn't data sonification gain some notoriety long ago with genetic music https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_music
I always wanted to hear my own unique song but never managed that...much to the delight of musicians everywhere I imagine ;D

Years ago I used sonification of the data output to a CRT raster to track down some kind of synchronization problem. I can still hear it now!

Today I listen in to pulse stream data to a PID control with an AT&T Executone speaker.
JohnnyMalaria:
I "listen" to the random motion of particles in liquids based on the fluctuation in intensity of light scattered by them. I can tell the difference between, say, 10nm and 200nm particles. I can also "hear" when a giant piece of dust floats by. Very useful if I'm not watching the signal.
