Abstract
This study aims to provide an insight into effective
sonification design. There are currently no standardized
design methods, allowing a creative development approach.
Sonifcation has been implemented in many different
applications from scientific data representation to novel styles
of musical expression. This means that methods of practice
can vary a greatly. The indistinct line between art and science
might be the reason why sonification is still sometimes
deemed by scientists with a degree of scepticism. Some well established
practitioners argue that it is poor design that
renders sonifications meaningless, in-turn having an adverse
effect on acceptance. To gain a deeper understanding about
sonification research and development 11 practitioners were
interviewed. They were asked about methods of sonification
design and their insights. The findings present information
about sonification research and development, and a variety of
views regarding sonification design practice.
