I’ll be posting my slide deck for my presentation later, but the bulk of my project is a ~10 minute piece of audio. Since I won’t be able to play the whole thing tomorrow, I’ll post it here for review.
And you can download the MP3 here.
I’m doing my best impression of a trendy podcast in order to get people excited about a potential way of sonifying data. In my research, I’ve seen some direct links between my topic and sonification (Dr.Ohno practiced this himself), but also some metaphorical ones.
I’ve mocked up a potential user interface for performing DNA music:
Originally, I was thinking about how to best create an instrument as a tool for performance. But I wasn’t really convinced that people would understand why they should use it at all. I wanted to play with an idea of a narrative (in podcast form) “instruction manual” that doesn’t teach you how to use an instrument, but motivates you as to why you should be excited about it.
I’ll be posting slides later today.
