Conversion of Meteorological Data to Music Sounds

Abstract

For the purpose to analytically compare the present meteorological measurement data with the past averaged data, it is proposed to convert the past averaged data to music sounds based on predetermined data-to-sound conversion rules. The resultant music sounds have been recorded on the CD so that the listeners can remind of the past averaged weather of each city. For helping the discrimination of the fuzzy music sounds, the music was clustered into 5 categories based on the relationship between the monthly averaged temperature and the rain fall valume.
