Archeological acoustics is a part of acoustics that studies ancient environments which were dedicated (completely or partly) to sound performing. The combination of this acoustic area in conjunction with room acoustics enables the study of the acoustic evolution of existing buildings (in terms of the historical documentation) or even, make the acoustic reconstruction of rooms which were destroy...

Electroacoustic music has a longstanding relationship with gesture and space. This paper marks the start of a project investigating acousmatic spatial imagery, real gestural behaviour and ultimately the formation of tangible acousmatic images. These concepts are explored experimentally using motion tracking in a source-sound recording context, interactive parameter-mapping sonification in three...

TweetDreams is an instrument and musical composition which creates real-time sonification and visualization of tweets. Tweet data containing specified search terms is retrieved from Twitter and used to build networks of associated tweets. These networks govern the creation of melodies associated with each tweet and are displayed graphically. Audience members participate in the piece by tweeting...

This case study introduces interactive sonification to evolutionary strategies (ES) for global optimization. We briefly describe the specific strengths of sonification as a tool for monitoring, the emerging trend of interactive sonification, and what it can add to the field of evolutionary computation. Then we line out the background of ES as optimization heuristics, briefly explain the algorit...

Sensorial substitution has great potential in rehabilitation, education, games, and in the creation of music and art. Current technologies allow us to develop sensorial substitution and sonification systems that would not have been imaginable two decades ago. It is desirable to let a large audience use and test sonification systems to provide feedback and improve their design. Handheld devices ...

This paper describes the motivation, data and sonification technique for three sound examples on the auditory display of human brain activity, selected and formatted as contribution to the ICAD aural submission category. The human brain generates complex temporal and spatial signal patterns whose dynamics correspond to normal (e.g. cognitive) processes and as well as abnormal conditions, i.e. d...
