The Sound of Data
Parameter mapping sonification is a powerful tool for data display and analysis with uses in a myriad of fields of study. Despite the wide range of applications, parameter mapping sonification remains abstruse for people to utilize effectively. This article outlines an original design in the domain of parameter mapping sonification applications for a flexible, extensible, and intuitive web app that democratizes this data display method. Sonificat…
Characterizing the Relationship Between the Covid-19 Pandemic and U.S. Classical Musicians' Wellbeing
The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the economic and social wellbeing of communities worldwide. Certain groups have been disproportionately impacted by the strain of the pandemic, such as classical musicians. The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly harmed the classical music industry, silencing the world's concert halls and theaters. In an industry characterized by instability, a shock as great as COVID-19 may bring negative effects that far outlast t…
There and Back Again
Racist flyers and posters have a long history in the US. In recent years, these ephemeral pieces of propaganda have been coordinated and amplified through the use of the internet and social media. In a vicious circle, racist flyers are propagated online, then printed by activists and distributed offline. After distribution, photos and other documentation of the flyer drops are then posted online in order to amplify their message and inspire furth…
A Case study in Ecological Planning
In reviewing the publications and reports in the regional and landscape planning literature and project reports from the profession, one finds a lack of uniformity in methodology, with ad hoc procedures "suited to the particular problem" a common approach. A method is presented in this chapter for determining the inherent suitability of a landscape for assimilating human activities and their artifacts. The approach is suggested in the writings of…
Analysis of Pitch Perception of Inharmonicity in Pipa Strings Using Response Surface Methodology
The timbre of the pipa, one of the principal plucked string instruments of traditional Chinese music, is characterized by richly nuanced inharmonicity resulting from peculiarities of regionally distinct string composition and construction. This study investigates the effect of this feature of timbre on pitch perception. Beyond the specific issue of the pipa, we propose a response surface based experimental design and modelling approach as a gener…
Creative Aspects of Sonification
Agoal of sonification research is the intuitive audio representation of complex, multidimensional data. The authors present two facets of this research that may provide insight into the creative process. First, they discuss aspects of categorical perception in nonverbal auditory scene analysis and propose that these characteristics are simplified models of creative engagement with sound. Second, they describe the use of sonified data in musical c…
Brahms at the Piano
In 1889, Johannes Brahms recorded a segment of the first of his Ungarische Tanze (Hungarian Dances) in an arrangement for solo piano. The authors describe the analysis and reconstruction of this recording and examine the implications of this work as a contribution to the understanding of performance practices in the late nineteenth century

Guidelines for landscape synthesis
Water, Earth, and Fire
Each major chapter in this land-use planning case study begins with an introductory overview of the historical and ecological context of land-use patterns and the resources on which people depend. Juxtaposed with these scientific analyses is a series of profiles of area residents and their view of the Pine Barrens. The concluding chapters present recommendations designed to help develop a regional plan for the area
