Session notes

Notes taken during the session.

Brainstorming

  • reviewing the dataset
  • locality using Hilbert curves
  • avoid visual thinking -> what would be better auditory thinking
  • whole image into sound object (spins->parameters: data to parameters of sound object
  • do not fix on one objects, be aware of many many objects
  • serialization between many objects
  • serialization is done via time
  • matrix as stationary sound
  • statistical stuff not that interesting
  • matrix as orchestra from above
  • neighborhood should be preserved
  • avoid choices
  • taking some scanning lines
  • straight line through plot
  • we are interested in emergent properties
  • envelope generation via several lines, counting how far apart we go until we have 3, 6, 9, 12 spin flips.
  • what is a cluster: a region of similar spin alignment
  • relation to cellular automata...
  • random sampling and local shape into sound
  • what do we gain if we loose locality: we gain that the system cares less to locality than our eyes do. we loose structure of area around grain. (refocus...)
  • local shape is more or less correlation function
  • lets start with simple approach

Results

We sample 5 positions per frame, creating one grain event for each .

At each position we compute average magnetism over a qxq patch

We perform nonlinear mapping of these values to grain properties, namely

  • value -> pitch
  • amplitude -> deviation from 0.5
  • noise -> if mean around 0.5

In the sonification a sequence of frames is played, from above MC-Temp to below MC-Temp.

Sound Example: around the phase transition the number of noise bursts decreases and the purity and loudness of clean tones increases.
