Detailed Project Description:
Overview
Sonic Sounds is an innovative project developed during the NASA Hackathon to explore the creative intersection of sound and space exploration. Our team harnessed the power of sonification to convert astronomical data into meaningful soundscapes, offering a unique perspective on the universe.
Technology Stack
-
Website Development: Built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, hosted on Railway.
-
TwoTone for converting wave data (CSV format) into musical notes with options for instruments, octaves, and sound styles like solitary notes or arpeggios.
-
VSDC on Windows to combine mp3 files into one cohesive piece of music.
-
NASA Radio Telescope: Operated on a local server at the NASA facility to collect wave data in frequency and intensity.
Key Features
-
Wave Data Sonification: Processed wave data in CSV format into music using TwoTone, offering flexibility in sound design and composition.
-
Integrated Sound Files: Exported individual sound files to mp3 format and merged them into a unified musical piece with VSDC.
-
Interactive Platform: Showcased the project's outcomes and methodology through a custom-built website, allowing users to explore the data and the resulting soundscapes.
-
Real-Time Data Processing: Leveraging a NASA radio telescope to access and process live data directly at the facility.
