sonic particles 2.0 is a real-time sonification of urban environmental data. It was created as part of Data Canvas: Sense Your City - a network of sensors to promote public education around civic issues. The network of DIY environmental sensors spread across 7 cities and 3 continents empowers citizens with real-time information about their surroundings. 

This sonic composition reflects the continuously evolving data consisting of temperature, light, pollution, humidity, dust and noise measurements. Each category of data corresponds to as well as controls specific sounds and parameters. The resulting composition evolves as the data levels decrease and increase.

Concrete sounds from 6 urban spaces manipulated and transformed in real time through a computer program. The piece is realized as an installation consisting of one computer, a quadrophonic speaker system, and a projector.

Untitled #1 consists of a generative computer program that composes soundscapes algorithmically in real time. The program has been created with the purpose of exploring collections of concrete sounds from 6 urban spaces in Denmark. The sounds are transformed and manipulated over time, and will perceptually distance themselves from their origin source. At times the soundscapes will become abstract thus the listener will be able to move his focus from causal references towards the inner complexity of the sounds.

A graphic flocking simulation is used as a foundation for the system and the progress of the sounds. In this piece the 'Flock' is also used as a metaphor for densely populated areas, which attract human beings despite noise and chaos. The more agents joining the flock, the more noise.

The software is based on Max 7 (Cycling '74) and Simon Fraser's implementation of the boids-algorithm (flock simulation, originally developed by Craig Reynolds). 

The piece was created as part of release #41 of the Danish cultural journal KULTURO about 'Noise' as a phenomenon. The event took place at Mayhem (music venue) in Copenhagen, Denmark.
