The contemporary design practice known as data sonification allows
us to experience information in data by listening. In doing so, we
understand the source of the data in ways that support, and in some
cases surpass, our ability to do so visually. In order to assist us
in negotiating our environments, our senses have evolved
differently. Our hearing affords us unparalleled temporal and
locational precision. Biological survival has determined that the
ears lead the eyes. For all moving creatures, in situations where
sight is obscured, spatial auditory clarity plays a vital survival
role in determining both from where the predator is approaching or
to where the prey has escaped. So, when designing methods that
enable listeners to extract information from data, both with and
without visual support, different approaches are necessary. A
scholarly yet approachable work by one of the recognized leaders in
the field of auditory design, this book will - Lead you through
some salient historical examples of how non-speech sounds have been
used to inform and control people since ancient times. -
Comprehensively summarize the contemporary practice of Data
Sonification. - Provide a detailed overview of what information is
and how our auditory perceptions can be used to enhance our
knowledge of the source of data. - Show the importance of the
dynamic relationships between hearing, cognitive load,
comprehension, embodied knowledge and perceptual truth. - Discuss
the role of aesthetics in the dynamic interplay between
listenability and clarity. - Provide a mature software framework
that supports the practice of data sonification design, together
with a detailed discussion of some of the design principles used in
various examples. David Worrall is an internationally recognized
composer, sound artist and interdisciplinary researcher in the
field of auditory design. He is Professor of Audio Arts and
Acoustics at Columbia College Chicago and a former elected
president of the International Community for Auditory Display
(ICAD), the leading organization in the field since its inception
over 25 years ago. Code and audio examples for this book are
available at https://github.com/david-worrall/springer/ Here is an
excellent review of the book by Dr Gregory Kramer: "Worrall
proceeds bravely through the trees and vines of philosophy,
information theory, aesthetics, and other contributors to
sonification design theory. It's a feat. He nails all of this down
with the specific implementation system he's designed over many
years, and applies his theories to specific problems. In a field of
research still in its first half century and setting its bearings
in a world where human perception has become a sideshow to machine
learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence, the roots
David provides will serve well." Dr Gregory Kramer is the founding
figure in the emerging field of sonification, founded the
International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD) and editor of
the first book in the field, "Auditory Display: Sonification,
Audification and Auditory Interfaces" (Addison Wesley, 1994).
