No, that’s not some fancy CGI, it’s what happens to water in response to a special audio frequency. By allowing the water to pass through the sound wave, it forms shapes that seem completely unreal.

A song of our warming planet by Daniel Crawford (2013)
Many of you may have already seen this video. If so, it's well worth reading the thoughts on Ashley Hamer on how this sonification could be taken forward.
To explain to piece:
When faced with the challenge of sharing the latest climate change discoveries, scientists often rely on data graphics and technical illustrations. University of Minnesota undergrad Daniel Crawford came up with a completely different approach. He’s using his cello to communicate the latest climate science through music.

Worth a read, by Ashley Hamer, who begins:
Data sonification is a touchy issue at Mad Art Lab. I’ll admit, when I first started writing here, I was on board with all of it — stock prices? Twitter conversations? TheHiggs-Boson? If you turn it into music, no matter what it sounds like, I guarantee I’ll be impressed.
But an article musician Sarah Angliss wrote when she was a Lab contributor changed my mind on the matter.

Forty-eight to Sixteen by Brian House, 2012
Brian House here examines his daily bicycle commute from Brooklyn to midtown Manhattan, he explains:
"... with sensors for my heartrate, breathing, and the cadence of my pedaling, along with chest-mounted video. Cellist Topu Lyo interprets my experience via a composition I derived from the sources that is precisely timed with the video. I am interested in 'performing' data and my and Topu's divergent but equally physical and temporal relationship to the information. Additionally, the physiological basis of empathy has implications for recent trends in media culture toward first-person viewpoints and the integration of biometrics into documentary. Named after the gear ratio of my bike."

Quotidian Record by Brian House
Brian explains:
"Quotidian Record is a limited edition vinyl recording that features a continuous year of my location-tracking data. Each place I visited, from home to work, from a friend's apartment to a foreign city, is mapped to a harmonic relationship. 1 day is 1 rotation ... 365 days is ~11 minutes."

Polarseeds: communicating climate change with data, sound and games (2012)
Polarseeds is an exhibition and website that uses sound and sonifications to communicate the melting of the Greenland ice sheet.
As Polar Seeds explain for one of their sonifications:
I created a Geiger Counter type effect to represent annual summer melting averages. Here it is presented along with the albedo choir. The geiger counter gets more and more grating as it increases in intensity. Our annoyance level when listening might translate into our alarm at the changes in the rates of melting on the ice sheet!

The Piano Visual Bar by Noa Dolberg 2011
Play the piano and watch your creation translated into coloured lights and shapes.
This project was a submission to the Open Hardware Scholarship awarded by the Open Hardware Summit 2011.
Noa explains:
'I developed a mechanical device implanted inside the piano. A system of switches in strategic points turned on by the touch of the keys. The electric signals, translated by the computer, are projected as colors, shapes and images on to screens around the piano.'

wind/leaves, software, camera, loudspeakers
Wind sonifies movement in the viewer’s visual environment in a way that heightens visual awareness.
strengthened visual experience guides and enhances the viewer’s sonic experience, focusing their sonic attention toward particular kinds of sonic motion. This feedback loop creates a strong interconnection between the visual and the sonic within the mind of the viewer, leading to momentary states of complete attention to the different senses, and an overall heightened awareness of the beauty that is prese

Sound On Intuition By Pieter-Jan Pieters
Use your body to make music.
Extract explanation from Protein:
Sound on Intuition taps into the idea that you don’t necessarily have to learn new gestures in order to play an instrument, since your body instinctively feels music.
Once connected to a computer, each of the five devices – Wob, Heart, Scan, Kick, and Finger – acts as a MIDI controller, and can play any sound. The sound can then be adjusted with natural body movements: for a higher note, you just have to reach high; for some rhythm, you only have to tap your finger, and you can change the sound by slightly bending the finger.

The Secret Sounds of Spores by Yann Seznec (@amazingrolo) and Patrick Hickey
Yann explains:
Hidden under every mushroom, invisible to the naked eye, thousands of spores fall and are blown away by the tiniest current of wind. Shining a laser underneath a protected mushroom makes these spores visible. It looks gorgeous.
I worked with mycologist Patrick Hickey to create a musical installation out of these spores. Using custom built software and hardware, we made a system that reacted in real time to make sounds to represent the natural processes inherent in the mushroom.

Speaking in birdsong by Marcus Coates - utter genius.
Via the tate-collectives:
British artist Marcus Coates recorded birdsong, then slowed it down to human pitch and asked people to sing the notes. He then recorded this and sped it back up to bird pitch.
We wonder if you could do the reverse with whale song?
Read more about the project here.
Listen to an interview Marcus Coates did for Tate.
