Heart Rhythms

Sonification from America's Cup used in "Chabadas" from "Superorganism"
Data from the winner of the winner of Fleet Race 7, held on 10/7/12. The data includes the wind direction and speed during the race, as well as the craft's latitude, longitude, heading, pitch (how far up or down its front point is), heel (tilt to the side), and speed. A windy sound, created from filtered noise, renders the wind's activity, with speed reflected as pitch, and direction reflected as pan position. The data on the vessel is a rendered as a combination of noise and a sound rich in harmonics. The sound's timbre, tremolo rate, pitch, and pan position reflect the data of the craft during the race.

"Earthdance #1" is my musical offering for the Earth. This work was created from sonifications of the electromagnetic resonances of the Earth, along with processed sounds of nature. To listen to the rhythms of the earth is to better understand its health. Perhaps if we understand it more, we would take better care of it.

Deep Current is a sonic journey through the depths of emotion and experience. Their music flows like a river, carrying listeners on a journey through the ever-changing landscape of life. With each note and lyric, Deep Current invites you to dive deeper into the currents of consciousness and imagination, and emerge transformed on the other side.
