Sonification Examples

Examples of Scientific Data Sonification with Nyquist

Atonal Music Tools by Jorge Sastre

Jorge Sastre has written a number of pieces using Nyquist and SAL. Using a fairly compact program, he obtains very interesting results. The examples here illustrate a trio for flute, clarinet, and bassoon. The files include SAL code along with rendered output: a simple MIDI file, a PDF version of a score where the original material was manually refined to create a complete composition, and a synthesized rendering of the score.

Prof. Sastre has also contributed a port of John Chowning's fascinating voice synthesis algorithm using FM synthesis techniques. Here is a sound example and here is the Nyquist implementation by Jorge Sastre.
