Keywords
Sonification is the translation of information for auditory perception, excluding speech itself. As visualization, it can be used to display data, e.g., in science. Since 1992 the International Community on Auditory Display (ICAD, www.icad.org) researches sonification in a systematic way, but still few conventions have been established, and many approaches co-exist in the field between science and media arts. Different sonification projects have been conducted at IEM (see www.sonenvir.at, www.qcd-audio.at, http://sysson.kug.ac.at). In the course the following topics will be covered: • Auditory Scene Analysis and specific aspects of auditory perception as the basis of sonification • Definition, development and goals of sonification • Methods of sonification (e.g., audification, parameter mapping, model-based sonification) • Examples of „spontaneous“ and specifically researched sonifications from various different disciplines • Examples of sonification in computer music and media arts • Design-strategies, interdisciplinary communication and evaluation approaches • Technical preconditions and possibilities (short introduction to specific programming environments and discussion of hardware and practical issues) After introducing each of the above topics, accompanying exercises will be implemented by the participants.

The European Acoustics Association (EAA) is a non-profit entity established in 1992 that includes in its membership societies predominantly in European countries interested in to promote development and progress of acoustics in its different aspects, its technologies and applications. EAA gathers 33 societies of acoustics and serves more than 9000 individual members all over Europe. The European Acoustics Association (EAA) is an Affiliate Member of the International Commission for Acoustics (ICA) and of Initiative of Science in Europe (ISE).
