Hi folks. Wondering if anyone has done any cool data sonification work in TD?
I’ve done a lot of data and image sonification in maxMSP and Python in the past. TD has always felt a bit less intuitive to me for working with sound - I’ve done some work packing stuff into textures and then sonifying those in Max and Ableton via Syphon.
Recently made a little wavetable .tox that might be useful. Looking to explore and push this further - would love to hear folks thoughts or hear about some cool projects!
That’s a very cool project! However, since you patch in MaxMSP too, I’m wondering if there’s a specific reason for handling sound in TD - besides the obvious benefit of having both audio and visuals generated from the same system.
I’ve never done strict image sonification as you did (i.e. directly convert images into sound), but my go-to approach would involve sending data in general from TD to sound-oriented software (Ableton Live, SuperCollider, Max…). While I’d primarily focus on parameters I guess it would be quite doable to extract data from images and send them to control a sound synth or whatever, so doing image sonification but with a separation between audio and visual software. This would give much more flexibility I believe, but I also guess it is a matter of aesthetic taste and purpose of the project
