Sonification

In my free time, I enjoy exploring music, hiking, bouldering, racket sports, and tinkering with data to create cool stuff. Here are some data that I converted into audio for fun.

  1. Dust Data Sonification
    In this video, I convert the dust-to-gas mass ratio at different metallicities from multiple datasets into different sounds, creating a bell-like sound for one dataset and an atmospheric string sound for another. The data is available at Park et al. (2024).
  2. Star Formation Simulation Sonification
    In this video of a high-resolution molecular cloud forming stars, I create sound from stars (sharp) and protostellar jets (atmospheric) for the temperature panel based on pixel colours. The simulation data is available at Mathew et al. (2023).
  3. AGN Lightcurve Sonification
    In this video, I take data from Amrutha et al. (2024) for AGN light curves and convert them into MIDI notes with a dark overtone.
  4. AGN Spectra Sonification
    In this video, I convert an AGN light spectrum into a sound spectrum within the human frequency range, so that the elemental features are heard at specific frequencies. It also sounds like you are underwater. For more details on the data, see Lai et al. (2024).
