1Department of Geography, Faculty of Geo-environmental Science, Rissho University, Kumagaya, Japan.
Abstract:
In recent years, advancements in digital processing have facilitated the transformation of data into sound, a process referred to as sonification. To raise awareness and understanding of climate change, various sonification endeavors utilizing Earth science data have surfaced; nevertheless, the outcomes frequently deviate from conventional music compositions. This backstory aims to examine the possibilities and limitations of sonification by composing music based on Earth observation data with intentional and staged intervention of arrangements by a composer, presenting the music composition results and presenting the feedback and discussions raised by the audience.
