InternalSounds

For the 3rd Prompt Of Mathober: Internal, Area will be represented Internal. An Area is the interior of a shape. InternalSounds takes the area & circumference/perimeter formulas for circles, squares and triangles and sonifies them into a SonicPi Composition.

Poem

Shape and Sounds
Escape to be Loud
Loud to elevate
Their Voice
To be heard amongst the Noise
So it doesn’t evaporate
