Abstract
The sonification metaphor is not limited to electronic
sound synthesis and computer music, but can be applied
to instrumental music as well. The relation of
sonification to program and experimental music is
discussed and works by Iannis Xenakis, Karlheinz
Stockhausen, John Cage and Alvin Lucier are briefly
introduced. The paper leads to a discussion of the
connection between sonification and romanticism, where
the desire is to directly evoke an understanding of natural
phenomena.
