Jordan Wirfs-Brock and host Scot Gresham-Lancaster discuss new ideas in user interface that take advantage of senses other than sight. Specifically Scot became aware of Jordan's research by hearing her radio pieces on the NPR show Market Place with a show "Here's what the crescendo of the unemployment sounds like". Scot "I heard that while washing the dishes and had to reach out to Jordan and discuss the process of using sonification techniques in new radio journalism. She also has this great piece What sound does a volatile stock market make? that is very interesting. I had some technical problems with my side of the recording but Jordan was so fascinating it was worth salvaging the interview."

Brian Foo and host Scot Gresham-Lancaster talk in this podcast they talk over some of that work with a focus on the pieces at the Art/Science boundary. His work as the DATA DRIVEN DJ caught my attention and I had to reach out and speak to him about his double life working at the famous New York City Natural History Museum by day to make exhibits and do data visualization for them. At night he takes that skill set and does new sonificaitons based on data science that are bothaccessible and informative.

CLARENCE BARLOW and host Scot Gresham-Lancaster have know each other for decades and over the years Scot's admiration for Clarence's amazing body of work and research has only grown. In this podcast they talk over some of that work with a focus on the pieces at the Art/Science boundary. Clarence speaks at length about many of his challenging new ideas regarding techniques for using data in new ways to construct epic and comprehensible auditory experiences. He eschews electronics and converts his data explorations to acoustic instruments. This makes his approach most approachable and singular at the same time.

DOLORES CATHERINO and host Scot Gresham-Lancaster about the use of a technique called Polychromatic composition that Dolores has identified and uses extensively in her work. Using specially modified keyboards with as many as 72 equal semitones per octave, she creates oceans of sound that sweep the listener into new territories. We discuss using these techniques as a new way to leverage the use of intonation to convey alert, alarm and evn emotional content to the listener by way of the intonational content of converting to these more finely tuned pitch schemas.

IVANNA MUSE came to my attention from our mutual friend, Roger Malina. He had met her during a trip to MIT and thought that she might be an interesting person to interview for the "Sound and Data" channel. So this was a bit of a cold call since I was not that familiar with her work. It was amazing to find out the angle at which she is approaching this idea of "sound and data" which was so different from so many of my other guests. I was fascinated.

Roger Dean and host Scot Gresham-Lancaster talk about the wide range of Roger's work as a composer, scientist and expert in music cognition. A fascinating look into the ongoing work he is doing finding the connections between the experiences of creating music that is tuned to the functions of human auditory cognition.
-
Konstantinos Vasilakos and host Scot Gresham-Lancaster talk over various aspects of Konstantinos' work bringing sonificaiton to a mass audience with various projects. Here is a pointer to his github regarding a live coding project involving sonification data from the Large Hadron Collider. The project is a collaboration between BEER ensemble (University of Birmingham) and the Art@CMS project at CERN.

Garth Paine is particularly fascinated with sound as an experiential medium, both in musical performance and as an exhibitable object. He is internationally regarded as an innovator in the field of interactivity in experimental music and media arts. He gave the Keynote at the 2016 NIME conference. In 2018, Garth was an artist in residence at IRCAM (Paris) and ZKM (Karlsruhe). Garth's multi-disciplinary, collaborative Acoustic Ecology Project - Listen(ASU) documents the acoustic ecologies.

Chris Chafe and host Scot Gresham-Lancaster dive into an in depth one hour conversation about many aspects of Chris's decades of in depth work in sonificaiton. Chris is easily one of the worlds leading experst in this field with prolific output of new material and many rich new ideas that have made him one of the most important figures in the field.

Martin came to my attention when I ran across this well produced and thought provoking YouTube video on Sonification. This is one of many excellent videos he has produced and distributed on YouTube, but this one was so germane to the topic of this channel that I had to give him a ring. In doing some research on him, I discovered that he is, himself, a very talented composer, which for me gives him some basis for his well founded criticisms of many “sonifications” out there. We had an freewheeling conversation that I hope you find interesting. Not named is the Temporal Semiotic Units developed at the Laboratoire Musique et Informatique de Marseille. This work may be of interest to some as well

Mark came to my attention as an individual doing some of the most innovative work in the new field. I reached out in winter of 2017 to speak to Mark about his work in sonification that I had been tracking for years He was one of the most innovative and fully realized practitionaers of thsi new field of study. In July of 2019 the newly appointed director of the Arts + Design Research Incubator at Penn State, Mark unexpectedly died Thursday, July 18, 2019. He was 57 years old. He is sorely missed by his students, his collegues and all of us working in this new field. An example of the attention his work with the presentation: Meet the scientist who turns data into music—and listen to the sound of a neutron star

A rare opportunity to interview Carla just after the keynote address she gave at ICAD in 2017. She gave an amazing speech, a must listen for anyone interted in this field. Working in the field of sonificaiton since the mid 1990's so it was great to finally sit down and have a discussion.

Greg Kramer and Scot Gresham-Lancaster discuss the field of sonification–the use of non-speech audio to convey information or perceptualize data. This conversation deals with its origins and possible uses in the future.
-
Scot Gresham-Lancaster in conversation with colleague Bert Barten to touch bases on a decade-long project called Talking Trees. Talking Trees is a collaboration between artists, musicians and scientists who aim to connect people and nature together. The idea comes from artist Bert Barten who is aware of our unnatural way of living. When the Polish government announced the senseless destruction of an ancient forest, Bert was inspired to act. He felt he must do something to make the usefulness of trees more obvious to all. Talking Trees lets people begin to intuit our connections to trees and the forests that they are a part of.
-
A short discussion with Dr. Vickers about his very serious research and approach to sonification but also including some discussion of his recent standup routine regarding sonification as its main topic.
-
A discussion with L. Alexis Emelianoff about her use of detectors to sonify invisible electromagnetic fields that surround all of us. Her specially designed interfacess allow audiences to experience the sounds of electromagnetic fields that she moves through with purposeful gestures. Sonifying the invisible for the ears of the audience. as its main topic.
-
David Worrall is a preeminent scholar regarding sonification. His doctoral thesis on the topic is one of the best resources available for anyone researching this area of study. This is an open and informal discussion of various topics related to sonification. David and Scot have known each other for decades so this an engaging and lively discussion.
-
From Sophia Roosth's perspective as an anthropologist, the interest in how non-visual senses (e.g., hearing, taste, and touch) figure in scientific research and knowledge production are discussed. Discussed among these interests, sonocytologists who record cellular vibrations, exploring how listening to cells impacts how researchers understand biological processes.

To quote Mike Winters from the “Project Description” of his Masters Thesis “Strategies for Continuous Auditory Display of Arousal and Valence” in which he states “Sound is capable of profound emotional experiences: one need look no further than the importance of music in film. Sonification is field of research interested in the use of sound to convey information in general, but what happens when the data is emotion?” This discussion scratches the surface of this research and starts the dialog regarding the fuzzy intersection of Art and Science that is presented when researching the techniques associated with affective computing when using data to drive emotional content systematically.
