Training Data Sonification

Data sonification is the art and science of turning data into sound. Just as data can be visualised by transforming it into bars, lines and colours, it can also be sonified – transformed into pitches, sounds and audio effects.

With data sonification in your skillset, you can add audio to your visualizations, tell data stories with sound, or even create pieces of music driven by data. Sonification is a fantastic tool for reaching blind or partially sighted audiences, and it can also add a unique emotional resonance to your work.

The workshop will cover both the theory and practice of sonification. We’ll go over what sonification can do, the different types of sonification out there, what it’s best used for and which types of data work best in sound. We’ll also introduce you to an array of tools for making sonifications - and you’ll have the chance to make your own sonification using tools that require no coding knowledge, including the Loud Numbers plugin for VCV Rack.

This training is a general introduction to what sonification is and what it can do, with a focus on storytelling and musical sonification. It may be of interest to musicians looking to bring data into their creative process, as well as to journalists, scientists, designers, or anyone else who works with data and wants to reach audiences in new and innovative ways.

Content

The following topics will be covered::

  • Introduction to data sonification
  • Types of sonification, with examples
  • Creating punk sonifications without a computer
  • Data design for sonification – what kinds of datasets work best
  • Sound design for sonification – auditory variables and parameter mapping
  • Music theory for sonification – turning sound into music
  • Tools you can use, including TwoTone
  • Working with sonification in a modular environment, using the Loud Numbers sonification pluginfor VCV Rack
  • Exporting and sharing your sonifications


Specific skills that might accelerate your progress in this workshop (but are absolutely not required) include:

  • Experience of using Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software such as Garageband, Logic, or Ableton Live
  • Experience manipulating data in Google Sheets or Excel
  • Familiarity with modular synths, Eurorack and/or VCV Rack
  • Knowledge of music theory, composition or performance


Participants will need to bring their own laptop (with sound enabled!) and headphones. If you have a small MIDI controller with knobs or faders, you might want to bring that too, but it’s absolutely not necessary and you won’t miss out on anything if you don’t have one.
