Auditory perception has advantages in temporal, amplitude, and frequency resolution that open possibilities as an alternative or complement to visualization techniques. The implications and techniques of this approach to extending the perception of data to the sense of hearing will be the focus of this channel.

    AI generated podcast Google Notebook LM spooky New Breakthrough

    This was a mind blowing find and rekindled my interest in extending this podcast of mine a little more, so I might start it up again. I discovered you can use a new tool in the Google AI experimental notebook area called "Notebook LM" Excercising my sense of irony I asked ChatGPT about it and it responded Google's NotebookLM (formerly called Project Tailwind) is an experimental AI tool designed to help users with note-taking, organization, and summarization. It leverages large language models (LM) like those powering Google’s AI systems to generate insights, summaries, and connections from a user's notes and documents.

    Jordan Wirfs-Brock: Sonification and Radio Journalism

    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 - Data Composer Extraordinaire

    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 - PolyChromatic Composer and Multi-Instrumentalist

    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 - Founder of the Cambridge Creativity Lab

    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.
