Music & Machines at the 5th IEEE Internet of Sounds Symposium
Dr. Stephen Roddy of the Dept. of Digital Humanities and the Radical Humanities Lab will be presenting musical and technical works at the 5th IEEE Internet of Sounds Symposium.
Dr. Stephen Roddy of the Dept. of Digital Humanities and the Radical Humanities Lab will be performing a new data-driven computer music composition entitled Noise for Waves and Grains for the concert series for the to be held at the 10th Edition of the ElettroAQustica Festival, Conservatorio 鈥淎. Casella鈥 of L'Aquilla, Italy this October. The piece uses sonification techniques to convert urban noise level data to sonic parameters. It reveals unexpected points of harmony across the dissonant signals that define contemporary urban life, asking us to reevaluate our culturally entrenched assumptions on the relationship between noise and music.
Further details and the full festival program are available at:
Stephen will also be presenting a technical paper on his recent work to develop sonification hardware for monitoring soil moisture levels. His prototype converts soil moisture levels into audible signals using wavetable synthesis techniques. It is designed for monitoring shallow rooting plants in regions affected by water scarcity and drought and developed for both agricultural and horticultural applications.

Finally, Stephen will be demonstrating a piece of software he has developed for the sonification of data from a series of noise level sensors installed around Dublin City. You can learn more about that project in the 's special issue on the
