Abstract: What is data sonification, and how can it be used as part of rich collaborations between scientist and musicians? Environmental data is complex, and by representing it as sound we access the expansive and sensitive musical brain functions to identify patterns. At the same time, the environment and data about it represents a profound source of natural beauty. This seminar will highlight a sonification composition project by Glenda Luck, Tyler Grimes, Leo Ma and Elsa Culler, created as part of the Brain Body Music class taught by De. Grace Leslie.
