Translations:Sonification in practice/12/en

The indisputable connection between sound and numbers—specifically, the concept of breaking down sound into frequencies or harmonics—provides a sufficiently structured framework for interdisciplinary teaching using sound, within which all aspects of STEAM can be addressed. Since the concept of time defines the sound phenomenon, the representational act of a sound effect cannot but be at the center of any pedagogical approach. Consequently, the organized arrangement of sound elements in time in a harmonious manner—both in terms of rhythm, intensity, timbre, pitch, and their positional placement on the musical scale, whether diatonic or not—constitutes a musical result. This rational organization can serve as a field for experimentation in musical composition, while the parameterization of all the above concepts can enrich any educational objective that depends on the evolution of a phenomenon over time or the conversion of data into sound.
