CITH Workshop: Sonifying Space Valery Perez and Adam Vaagen

In this CITH Workshop: Sonifying Space, Monica Bolles walks us through a series of modern audio technology and sound art concepts related to spatial audio and data sonification using Max/MSP. Working with solar storm data from NASA, she shows how data can be mapped to different sound elements and then placed within virtual and physical spaces. She breaks down the basics of data parsing, sonification, and spatial audio in a way that feels approachable. Using tools like Max/MSP, TouchOSC, and the IRCAM Spat toolkit, this workshop is a comprehensive introduction to building immersive audio experiences from data.
