Demo: Sonic Earth: Live Demonstration of an Algorithmic Performance System for Real-Time Environmental Sonification

This demo presents an algorithmic performance system that transforms real-time environmental data into generative soundscapes and live performance materials. Built at the intersection of algorithmic composition, live coding, and environmental sonification, Sonic Earth demonstrates how planetary conditions --- including temperature, humidity, and pollution indices --- can shape collaborative musical practice in real time. This demo builds on a system recently selected for the demo showcase at the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC), expanding its presentation towards FARM's focus on functional, generative, and performative dimensions. The system integrates electronic sound synthesis, adaptive graphic notation, and human performers, establishing a dialogic performance space where environmental parameters directly influence musical structure, sonic texture, and interpretative gestures.

Abstract

This demo presents an algorithmic performance system that transforms real-time environmental data into generative soundscapes and live performance materials. Built at the intersection of algorithmic composition, live coding, and environmental sonification, Sonic Earth demonstrates how planetary conditions --- including temperature, humidity, and pollution indices --- can shape collaborative musical practice in real time. This demo builds on a system recently selected for the demo showcase at the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC), expanding its presentation towards FARM's focus on functional, generative, and performative dimensions. The system integrates electronic sound synthesis, adaptive graphic notation, and human performers, establishing a dialogic performance space where environmental parameters directly influence musical structure, sonic texture, and interpretative gestures.
