The Sysson Platform: a Computer Music Perspective of Sonification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce SysSon, a platform for the development and application of sonification. SysSon aims to be an integrative system that serves different types of users, from domain scientists to sonification researchers to composers and sound artists. It therefore has an open nature capable of addressing different usage scenarios. We have used SysSon both in workshops with climatologists and sonification researchers and as the engine to run a real-time sound installation based on climate data. The paper outlines the architecture and design decisions made, showing how a sonification system can be conceived as a collection of specialised abstractions that sit atop a general computer music environment. We report on our experience with SysSon so far and make suggestions about future improvements.

Sysson - a Systematic Procedure to Develop Sonifications
The newly started research project SysSon will develop a systematic procedure to develop sonifications, and test the procedure with climate data. The SysSon approach addresses the relevant obstacles that are met when introducing sonification in a new scientific domain: the cultural bias, usability and technical issues. This paper presents the research approach that shall be put up for discussio...

Interactive sonification can provide a platform for demonstration and education as well as monitoring and investigation. We present a system designed to demonstrate the facilities of the UK’s most advanced large-scale research wave tank. The interactive sonification of water waves in the 'ocean basin' wave tank at Plymouth University consisted of a number of elements: ocean wave generation, acq...
متن کاملMusical Robots for Children with Asd Using a Client-server Architecture
People with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are known to have difficulty recognizing and expressing emotions, which affects their social integration. Leveraging the recent advances in interactive robot and music therapy approaches, and integrating both, we have designed musical robots that can facilitate social and emotional interactions of children with ASD. Robots communicate with children ...
متن کاملSoundstone: A 3-d wireless music controller
Soundstone is a small wireless music controller that tracks movement and gestures, and maps these signals to characteristics of various synthesized and sampled sounds. It is intended to become a general-purpose platform for exploring the sonification of movement, with an emphasis on tactile (haptic) feedback.
متن کاملListening to the Mind Listening
The following explains what mappings have been chosen for a sonification of several data channels from set containing a recording of the neural activity of a person listening to a piece of music. This piece, and also the sonification, is exactly 300 seconds long. My aim is to provide a sonification/composition that can be created in (near) real-time and takes its title literally. This is done b...
