Design Rhythmics Sonification Research Lab
From drsrl.com:
Design Rhythmics Sonification Research Lab works with scientists and museums to turn information and data into music. Why music? Not only do we love music, but it just so happens that music is composed of a very rich palette of qualities upon which data may be mapped and thereby perceived by the brain through the auditory channel.
Music stimulates cognition and memory, and offers those who are blind or visually handicapped the opportunity to understand information and gain knowledge in new ways. By working with scientists who are shedding new light on our world, and the museums and centers who are helping to disseminate it, we seek to create innovative, pleasurable and accessible audio information presentation solutions for the public to "get it" by hearing...
Created by computer scientist and composer/percussionist Marty Quinn, these sonifications demonstrate how data of all kinds can be translated into music for the purposes of expanding and enhancing our perception of the earth and our environment.
With Design Rhythmics, Shawn designs and builds audio computer systems for exhibits and projects. He also serves as a technical consultant, exhibit demonstrator, and performer. For more information, please head over to the Design Rhythmics website, where you will find an ample assemblage of media and material to explore.
