Sonification Experiments

input sound data: Dave Clarke – Southside

Audicity view of the Dave Clarke – Southside

Experiment 1

Experiment 2

Experiment 3

Experiment 4

Experiment 5

Audacity

Audacity → Terminal

Experimenting with the scripts from Andre's class while importing existing audiofiles or created new used through different beat levels.
these were later on sonified

Technical information

Sonification

Export uncompressed -> format raw -> unsigned 8 bit

The converter reads the file from top to bottom, and generates the bitmap from top to bottom.
Length of the audio defines the amount of data to fill an image.
The higher the resolution, the more data you need.
Too little data: image becomes black after a certain point.
Too much data, a new image file is written.
Depth controls the amount of raw audio data needed per pixel.
The shape of the wave influences the generated pattern.
The frequency controls the amount of times that the pattern repeats.
