Sonification/Listening up

Article Abstract:

The Sonification/Listening Up was a sound installation that used sound to connect the social space of architecture with oscillating waveform patterns in the ionosphere. Thirty-five public address speakers were distributed across the 23-storey facade of I.M. Pei's Green Building or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Building 54 from 9-16 September 2005 to enable the public to listen to the varying tonalities derived by changing ion-acoustic patterns in the atmosphere.

The anxiety of the client: Dilemmas of the database as a compositional tool

Article Abstract:

The possibilities and implications of mapping databases onto sound as a compositional technique, called sonification, are examined. The irreconcilable conflict between the reliable processor of data that gives the information and that of the interpreter of data desiring to create an aesthetic musical experience is the anxiety of the client program, which is bound to the protocols, data structures and methods of its server.

Listening to the Mind Listening: An analysis of sonification reviews, designs, and correspondences

Article Abstract:

The project Listening to the Mind Listening (LML) attempted to produce a concert of sonifications of the same dataset based on three criteria by different composers and was presented at the Sydney Opera House Studio in July 2004. An analysis of the reviews of the concert, as well as the designs and the correspondences between timelines of these works is presented.
