Abstract
The sound of a sonification has, like any sound, a metaphoric
content. Ideally, the sound is designed in a way that
it fits the metaphors of the final users. This paper suggests a
metaphoric sonification method in order to explore the most
intuitive mapping choices with the right polarities. The method
is based on recorded interviews, asking experts in a
field what they expect data properties to sound like. Language
metaphors and sounds of the recordings are then interpreted
by the sonification designer. The method has been
used for developing an ‘Acoustic Standard Model of particle
physics’ with physicists at CERN.
