For the Sixth Decibels Challenge, the prompt was Data Around Us. In this sonification named PizzaToppingsCombo, I have taken the top 10 Pizza Toppings ( from the following link https://www.hungryhowies.com/article/10-most-popular-pizza-toppings-united-states and sonify them based on the most popular combos in a three-topping per pizza limit. This works with the Data around me as I was eating a three-topping pizza at the time.
Using a mixture of Sonic Pi, Python, Boolean Algebra and other mathematical concepts to compose the sonification.

In the Python code, the combinations function from the itertools library was used to get the right amount of possible toppings to be calculated. Follow by having the sounds communicate to SonicPi via a timer that was sending the combos through the OSC protocol.
#external code borrowed for timer: -https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-create-a-countdown-timer-using-python/
#itertools for comibnations and osc
from itertools import combinations
from pythonosc import osc_message_builder
from pythonosc import udp_client
# import the time module
import time
toppings = []
# Get all combinations of the top ten toppings
# and a max of 3
comb = combinations(['Pepperoni','Extra Cheese','Mushrooms','Onions','Sausage','Black Olives','Green Peppers','Pineapple', 'Spinach','Cheese'], 3) #10 total toppings, 3 toppings allowed for pizza
# Print the obtained combinations
# print the list into an array
counter = 0
for i in list(comb):
print (i)
counter +=1
toppings.append(i)
print (counter) #prints the total counter
#using the length of the toppings to be the timer but going to times it by two, so the call to sonic pi
#is slower
t = len(toppings) * 2
# define the countdown func.
while t:
mins, secs = divmod(t, 60)
timer = '{:02d}:{:02d}'.format(mins, secs)
print(timer, end="\r")
time.sleep(1.5) #alter the time that to slow down or speed up the osc call
#Combinations being sent to SonicPi
if t % 2 == 0:
t -= 2
sender = udp_client.SimpleUDPClient('127.0.0.1', 4560)
sender.send_message('/pattern1', [toppings[int(t/2)][0], toppings[int(t/2)][1], toppings[int(t/2)][2]])
Meat: Pepperoni, Sausage, Extra Cheese (Did this grouping for sonic Purposes)
Vegetables: Mushrooms, Onions, Black Olives, Spinach, Cheese
Fruit: Green Peppers, Pineapple
The following is a logic table for when the pizza toppings contain any combination of the above categories
To be a Vegetarian based pizza, All Toppings must be Vegetarian or Fruit, which equates to
Vegeterian = veggies | fruit #union
if vegeterian.include? a and vegeterian.include? b and vegeterian.include? c
| Meat & Dairy Toppings | Veggie Toppings | Fruit Toppings | Output |
| F | F | F | None |
| F | T | F | Vegetarian |
| F | F | T | Vegetarian,Fruit |
| F | T | T | Vegetarian,Fruit |
| T | F | F | Meat Lovers |
| T | T | F | Meat Based |
| T | F | T | Meat Based |
| T | T | T | All Dressed |
Then In the SonicPi Code, we translated this into different auditory outputs. The Following Sounds were attributed to specific combos:
Loop (Amen, Electric and Garzul) For toppings that included a veggie mix, with Amen being if it contains any fruits
The meat & fruit & meat & veggie combos in the first sonification consisted of Sounds that were represented by either Guitars(Em9, Harmonics and E_slide), Drums(Bass_Hard, Bass_Soft and Snare_Hard) or Percussion(Snap2, Swash and Swoosh) sounds
The meat & veggie combos in the second sonification consisted of Sounds that were represented by either Tabla(Dhec, Ghe2 and Ghe3), Elec(Blip, Beep and Flip) or Ambi(Drone,Glass_hum or Glass_rub) sounds
#setting the conditionals rules of what is recieved from the Python Code
meat_ = ['Pepperoni','Extra Cheese','Sausage']
fruit = ['Green Peppers','Pineapple']
veggies = ['Mushrooms','Onions','Black Olives','Spinach']
