Translations:''a posteriori'' sonification/2/en

We call a posteriori when the data is sonified after being collected and stored. a posteriori comes from Latin and means "from the latter" or "from the one behind". It is usually used in philosophy to refer to a statement that comes after experience. While in real-time sonification we do not know what exactly will be the next data input, in a posteriori sonification, when we store a sequence of data we can take our time to analyze it and adjust our output sounds and test them. The data set is translated into a sound piece as a whole.
