Floral, Air & 63 Years

For the fifth Decibels Data Sonification Challenge, the dataset provided was by Loud Numbers :https://github.com/loudnumbers/environmental_data. For that challenge, I wanted the sounds to represent the increase in CFCS gases as well as the accumulation of CO2 that is being seen annually for the past 63 years. I decided to add an insect sample to the mix of sounds as a representation of the natural realm that is being affected by these changes. This was coded in SonicPi.

For the Creative Code Challenge by @sableRaph: “Greenhouse”, Floral, Air & 63, I decided to use Locomotion and it’s floral species to be the visual counterpart to this sonification.

The effects
Felt through the various depths
As the world rotates
The plants attempt to eliminate
Through their breaths and steps
