“Sonification is the rendering of data into sound (typically non-speach) designed
for human auditory perception. The informantional value of the rendering is often
unknown beforehead, particulary in data exploration” – Alberto de Campo
Laika analyse the data from the satellite according to the current location.
In other words, it tracks exactly the movement of the satellites above our heads.
The amount of traffic is enormous, and usually we are not aware of this “phenomena”.
Sonification is an art form that combines science and establish a different view,
sometimes more subjective as an info-graphic (or Auditory information display),
but not meaning less important, actually it takes advantage of the underlines of sonic understandings.
Every Satellite ID is translated to a synthesizer definition as well as his azimuth, elevation,
translated in a surround (7.1) sound system. The time scaling may variate according to the data and location.
The code is open-source using SuperCollider as a platform base for Sonification.
