#sonification — Public Fediverse posts

I've been making plots of the sets of roots of some polynomials. They look more interesting than I'd expected! And I've been making sounds from them, too. I have a bunch on this page of my website (I'll probably be adding more). Click on the images to embiggen them, and if you're in a hurry, the last sound on the page is the most catchy. https://www.madandmoonly.com/doctormatt/sound/littlewoodPolynomials/

Ooo! These new sonifications are so fun -- I think Jupiter is my favorite -- what about y'all??

Calving

Spectrogram of an iceberg calving (large section of iceberg breaking off) while adrift. The calving signal is short duration, broad band from 1-440 Hz generated by ice cracking and crack propagation. Audio sped up 3X normal.

Iceberg Harmonic Tremor

Generated by iceberg in contact with the seafloor or other iceberg. This spectrogram has a fundamental frequency of 40 Hz, with a 40 Hz overtone spacing. Multiple overtones are visible in the spectrogram. Audio sped up 3X normal.

Iceberg Grounding on Seafloor (Slow Down)

The sound slowly descends in frequency over about 7 minutes as the drifting iceberg slows to a stop once it comes in contact with the seafloor. Recorded signal sped up 16 times.

"Well, that sounded like a concert in a cosmic stalactite cave and leads us back to the bottom of our earthly seas. This and the next three posts are about very special sounds from the depths of the oceans!"

The Bloop: A Mysterious
Sound from the Deep Ocean

Explanation: What created this strange sound in Earth's Pacific Ocean? Pictured above is a visual representation of a loud and unusual sound, dubbed a Bloop, captured by deep sea microphones in 1997. In the above graph, time is shown on the horizontal axis, deep pitch is shown on the vertical axis, and brightness designates loudness. Although Bloops are some of the loudest sounds of any type ever recorded in Earth's oceans, their origin remains unknown. The Bloop sound was placed as occurring several times off the southern coast of South America and was audible 5,000 kilometers away. Although the sound has similarities to those vocalized by living organisms, not even a blue whale is large enough to croon this loud. The sounds point to the intriguing hypothesis that even larger life forms lurk in the unexplored darkness of Earth's deep oceans. A less imagination-inspiring possibility, however, is that the sounds resulted from some sort of iceberg calving. No further Bloops have been heard since 1997, although other loud and unexplained sounds have been recorded.

Original icequake (bloop) sound:
The broad spectrum sounds recorded in the summer of 1997 are consistent with icequakes generated by large icebergs as they crack and fracture. NOAA hydrophones deployed in the Scotia Sea detected numerous icequakes with spectrograms very similar to “Bloop”. Recorded signal sped up 16 times.

I’m happy to share that I will be part of S+T+ARTS Hungry EcoCities’ 2nd Open Call, working with Protiberia to develop Quiet Storm: Music for Insects, raising awareness on the future of food through art-science experimentation!
Next week I will visit Protiberia in Villamalea, Spain and also meet the Studio Other Spaces team

Sonification Project with AMI

I'm beginning a new sonification project in collaboration with Dr. Alyssa Stubbers and the Alabama Materials Institute (AMI). We will sonify electron microscope diffraction patterns of various materials. I'll post sounds and images as the work develops.

The two-year project is funded through a partnership between AMI and the Collaborative A

Big thanks to Ran Ancor for his beautiful oscilloscope visuals. His work is worth checking out :-)

Solar Eclipse Sonification Tool for Visually Impaired

"I want students to be able to hear the eclipse, to hear the stars."

"The LightSound device is the result of a collaboration between Wanda Díaz-Merced, an astronomer who is blind, and Harvard astronomer Allyson Bieryla."

don't ya just love it when a 2014 paper cites long gone URLs in the bibliography? More to the point (#astrodons?) anyone know if this exists anywhere?

An interesting use-case of #sonification. A company sonifies plant #biorhythms and uses the #soundscapes to let #workers #relax. https://www.equitybulls.com/category.php?id=337439

Just discovered, all these years, a slight error in my #sonification tutorial at #programminghistorian ; a missing 'end' to close things off.
