Sonification converts data relations into perceived acoustic relations
Evidence
Soniļ¬cation is the use of nonspeech audio to convey information, representing the transformation of data relations into perceived relations through an acoustic signal. Soniļ¬cation is an important source of anthrophonic sounds. Soniļ¬cation is realized by auditory displays such as alert and notiļ¬cation, cautions, and warnings. An auditory display is particularly useful when the eyes are used in another task, and sound can be used to inform busy people who are engaged in manual performances. ā Almo Farina, Soundscape Ecology, 2472
Categorization
- DEFINE: Core definitional term for the acoustics/soundscape-methods vocabulary.
- ADDENDUM: Relates to soundscape methods; sonification of landscape data is a methods angle paralleling the grafting-as-method theme.
