Inspiration from Nature knows no boundary and can take on unusual forms.

Fire has fascinated humankind since the prehistoric era. Rooted in the interactions between sound and flames, we report a method to use fire for a variety of purposes, including sonification, art, and the design and manufacturing nature-inspired materials.

We present a method to sonify fire, thereby offering a translation from the silent nature of flames, to represent audible information, and to generate de novo flame images.

To realize material specimen derived from fire, we use the autoencoder to generate image stacks to yield continuous three dimensional geometries that are manufactured using 3D printing.

This represents the first generation of nature-inspired audible signals from fire, and can be a platform to be used for other natural phenomena in the quest for de novo architectures, geometries, and design ideas, thus creating additional directions in artistic and scientific research through the creative manipulation of data with structural similarities across fields.

An alchemist of bespoke beats, Floridian producer tiny.blips' utilizes all-original instrumentation and vocals on his 18-track beat tape 'on the brush'. Serving psychedelic grooves that are so layered you would be sure they were stuffed to the brim with samples (hint: they are NOT), tiny.blips proves you can have fun while also creating beats with serious substance. A feast for the ears, eyes, heart and soul.

Help Me To Remember (A Movie Soundtrack)

Markus J. Buehler is the McAfee Professor of Engineering at MIT, and a composer of experimental, classical and electronic music, with an interest in sonification. Using an approach termed "materiomusic", his artistic work explores the creation of new forms of musical expression - such as those derived from biological materials and living systems - as a means to better understand the underlying science and mathematics. One of his goals is to use musical and sound design as a novel and abstract way to model, optimize and create new forms of matter from the bottom up, and to assess cross-system design relationships. He is also interested in research to explore relationships between classical music, mathematics, and the physical and biological sciences, an in the mapping of models of consciousness across systems. In recent work he has developed a new framework to compose music based on proteins – the basic molecules of all life, as well as other physical phenomena such as fracturing, to explore similarities and differences across species, scales and between philosophical and physical models.
