  • Content preserving data synthesis and analysis
    Publication number: 20050149568
    Abstract: The invention includes methods for content preserving data synthesis. In one method, data is collected into a data domain. The data domain is decomposed into self-organizing parts. Each self-organizing part is described by a descriptor or algorithm. The method can be performed dynamically The algorithm used to describe each self-organizing part can be a weighted Voroni tessellation.

  • Creating realtime data-driven music using context sensitive grammars and fractal algorithms
    Publication number: 20050115381
    Abstract: Musical approaches are applied to the sonification of data. The musical approaches do not require directly mapping data to sound. Data is interpreted and transformed into sound through Lindemayer-systems or other methods. Where fractals are used in the interpretation and transformation of data to sounds the use of fractals provided needed phrasing to create a sense of forward motion in the music and to reveal a rich complexity in the details of the data.
