Leander

DATA SONIFICATION TIME LAPSE FILM

Leander is an experimental film that sonifies color data to generate its musical soundtrack. The colors of Lake Michigan, captured in time lapse video, constitute ever-changing probability vectors that govern the behavior of musical sound-events over time. This stochastic, or probabilistic approach to data sonification imagines the musical experience as movement through a virtual possibility space, rather than the end result of a causal process.

Created in 2020.

IEEE VISAP Pictorial and Presentation

I had the opportunity to present Leander at the 2020 IEEE Visualization Arts Program in October 2020. You can read the published pictorial or watch my artist talk below.
