about
WeatherSystems is a generative composition driven by 30 hours of weather data collected in the Lake District.
Arduino sensors and Max/MSP captured, processed and quantised the data to trigger audio recordings and control different synthesis parameters.
Key sonification examples include:
• each pulse marks the passing of 15 minutes.
• bell + synthesiser pitch controlled by temperature and humidity.
• granular sounds controlled by pollutant gas level thresholds.
• rain audio sample level controlled by precipitation data.
• change of instrumentation and timbre controlled by light intensity of the sun
The resulting effect is a sonic analogy of a rainy day in the Lake District, where the sunrise and sunset can be experienced through sound.
This piece was presented at the International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD 2019).
