Sonification of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Germany in Python and FAUST
This project was developed in the class 'Sound Synthesis' at TU Berlin during the summer of 2020.
The foundation of this sonification is the RKI COVID-19 dataset that can be found here:
https://arcg.is/1uTjKa
It is comprised of: the number of cases/deaths per day, age groups, genders, states etc.
With the aid of Python and FAUST, it is possible to hear what COVID-19 sounds like in Germany. Therefore, it makes it easier for people to understand what the data mean. We attempted to map the parameters, which we extracted from the dataset, in a meaningful and understandable way to our sound synthesis.
The sound of this sonification is unique in that the algorithm computes the latest data it gets. Hence, depending on when you run the code yourself, you will hear a different result.
Feel free to use the code
