Sound workshop

Sonification studies. Where charts show quantities through position and colour, sound carries them through pitch, volume, tempo and timbre. Especially useful where the data is emotional, where the audience cannot see, or where attention should rest on listening rather than reading.

    The Sound of Species

    Six animal classes as six instruments. The IUCN Red List as a slow chord that thins out from 1970 onward, with each lost species silencing a note.

    The Sound of Climate

    The Keeling curve as a 90-second drone. CO2 readings from Mauna Loa, 1958 to today, mapped to a slowly rising pitch.

  • More sound studies land here over time.
