Make It Sound
summary
Sound becomes measurable evidence: NOAA sea‑level numbers get interpolated into musical notes, then back into images; a British Library tattoos dataset of 60,000 convicts turns words and sketches into radial charts; collaboration with Somewhere Over easteries yields about 15 album covers made by hand from amplitude and frequency extractions; personal work maps breath and walks recorded on an iPhone into two‑circle compositions that print as 1 m × 1 m prints — all done with audio manipulation software, no coding, and visible links between data source and final artifact.
