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 collaborative Tracing Thin Air project I’ve been making with Karen Brummund and Allison Grant culminates in a one-night only video and sound installation on Friday.
December 2 7-9pm Tracing Thin Air Installation between Monarch Coffee and The Alcove Tuscaloosa AL
For this part of the project I’ve created a sound installation driven by air quality data that we collected over the last 9 months using Purple Air sensors. I sonify the data using a variety of sound generating and audio processing devices built with Cycling ’74’s Max.
It’s been fun digging into Max’s multichannel mc. system, especially in combination with the gen~ suite of objects. Graham Wakefield & Gregory Taylor’s excellent book Generating Sound & Organizing Time has been a particularly timely (hah!) and useful resource. Highly recommended.
