MIT Student and Electronic Music Producer Nourey to Present Research on Climate Change With Anjunabeats
On the same weekend she performed at Above & Beyond‘s Gorge Weekender, Nourey was also conducting research on climate change. When she’s not creating music, the Egyptian-born electronic music producer is working hard on her studies as a PhD student at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After sharing her art with fans onstage at the Gorge, Nourey conducted a 16-hour study at the weekend-long event, with the objective to educate attendees on how they can help the fight against climate change on a personal level. Now, she’s joining forces with Anjunabeats and her school to present her findings. Using an augmented reality-powered “art wall,” Nourey was able to gather over 400 responses to a climate change ...

Researcher Documents Climate Change Effects By Transcribing Ambient Sounds of Glaciers
Artists and researchers alike are learning that climate change can not only be seen, but also heard. Enter Ugo Nanni, a researcher from the University of Oslo with an affinity for transcribing natural phenomena into sound. Using a seismometer, Nanni sought to better understand the melting patterns of the Kongsvegen glacier in Svalbard, a landmark roughly 800 miles north of Norway. When ice melts and ultimately breaks, it creates vibrations which may be detected by a seismometer. As one might imagine, these particular frequencies are normally inaudible, registering between 1-100 HZ, but Nanni leveraged some post-processing magic so we could hear the glaciers for ourselves. Ugo Nanni, a researcher from the University of Oslo, used a seismometer to record and process the ambien...

A Sound Artist Translated Air Pollution Data Into Music
Researchers from the University of Birmingham are thinking creatively about how to highlight the often imperceptible impacts of air pollution. A subsection of the university’s “The Air We Breathe” exhibition, the project, titled “Sounding Out Pollution,” transforms air quality data into music. The offering includes three unique sonic interpretations of pollution, each leveraging air quality data from locations throughout the U.K. The pieces each explore a unique creative concept, including one that captures the subtle changes in pollution by the hour across the West Midlands and another which juxtaposes pollution data between the countryside and major cities throughout the country. Take a listen to the sonifications below. Scroll to Continue Recommended Articl...
Dolly Parton Says Climate Change Is “Like Being Ugly to Your Mama”
Dolly Parton, the reigning queen of Tennessee and charitable efforts, recently stopped by National Geographic to discuss two of her favorite things about her home state: its music and its nature. Just in time for Earth Day, the country legend spoke with National Geographic Travel’s Amy Alipio about her thoughts on climate change, the music of the Smoky Mountains, and how the state’s landscape played into her tune “My Tennesee Mountain Home” — which was just unanimously voted as Tennessee’s new state song. “We should pay more attention to how we’re treating our mountains, how we’re treating our world, how we’re just treating everything,” Parton said. “We’re just mistreating Mother Nature. That’s, like, being ugly to your mama, you know? That’s like being disrespectful, you know? Seriously. ...

Three Musicians Took 100 Years of Climate Change Data and Turned Them Into Songs
Climate change is causing the planet to evolve at an alarming rate. Thanks to musicians and instructors at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, climate change can also be heard. Musicians from Full Sail have teamed up with USA Today to construct music based on more than 100 years of data on climate change in various U.S. states, including Arkansas, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Iowa. The data found that east of the Rocky Mountains more rain was falling than ever before, but in the west rain is becoming more scarce. Each composer approached the project differently with various musicalities. They all used real rain sounds throughout their pieces. Pennsylvania by Dr. Timothy Stulman In Dr. Stulman’s composition, he used a melodic line that represented p...
