Sonification of Data as Music -Drum Play Based on Electrocardiogram-

Abstract

There are many methods for analyzing heavyweight and composited numeric data corresponding to various statistical matrix and types of data. Conventionally, for representation of these analytical results, charts and their extensions by three-dimensional view, animation, and interactivity are used. As one of the representations, we aim at sonification of analytical results, especially representation as music, for stimulating perceiving the difference of the target data. In this paper, we report software that generates drum play from arbitrary numeric data.
