Not sure what data to use? Sites like Our World In Data are a great place to start. You can also type in personally meaningful numbers — or an arbitrary string of data can also be randomized from scratch within each device to easily generate infinite sequences, patterns, and tones. A groundbreaking set of tools for artists and producers, our Sonification Tools allow you to embed real-world phenomena into your creative process — and express those phenomena as uniquely as you wish, giving them a voice through your music, and inspiring newly meaningful approaches in the process.
