Workshop 2: Introduction to Data Sonification with SuperCollider - by Andrea Valle
Full-day workshop (5 hours) | 09:00–12:00 13:00-15:00 on 05.06.2025
Researchers, designers, artists, musicians, data analysts, and anyone interested in exploring sound as a medium for data representation.
No prior experience with SuperCollider is required. Basic programming knowledge is helpful but not necessary.
This workshop introduces participants the process of transforming data into sound using SuperCollider, a powerful open-source environment for real-time audio synthesis. Participants will learn how to map data to sound parameters, create auditory representations of datasets, and explore algorithmic composition techniques to convey information through sound.
Key topics:
Introduction to Data Sonification: Understanding how data can be represented through sound and its applications in science, art, and design. SuperCollider Basics: Overview of the SuperCollider environment, syntax, and essential tools for working with sound. Mapping Data to Sound Parameters: Techniques for converting numerical data into pitch, rhythm, timbre, and spatialization. Algorithmic Sonification: Using SuperCollider’s pattern system to generate evolving, data-driven soundscapes. Hands-On Sonification Exercises: Practical examples using real-world datasets to reinforce concepts.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Understand the principles and applications of data sonification. Use SuperCollider to generate and manipulate sound. Map datasets to sound parameters to create meaningful auditory representations. Experiment with algorithmic approaches to sonification.
