So that's who composed all the incidental sci-fi music of the 1970s.

This is a normal post This sounds exactly like the Coagula image synth, and I would not be surprised if that's what they used.

They being the spider people, not the pioneers of scifi electronica. Pronouns, pal.

This is a normal post data sonification
can go fuck itself. arbitrary bullshit that gives no greater understanding to anything.

This is a normal post Some blind people find it useful.
I don't think it helps much in this case, but it's useful for some astronomy and whatnot, where a graph or a waveform doesn't reveal as much as listening to it.

Some data visualisation can be crap too, you know.

This is a normal post it depends
if you have data points translated to pitch. which is the normal, mindless way of doing it, then what you're listening too is some kind or parabola jumbled up with statistical noise, and the scale is arbitrary. utter shit. the astronomy sounds, like the sound of Jupiter etc are all bullshit transpositions. Up 50 octaves so that you hear something. bullshit again. arbitrary again. OK with the actual space 'sounds' at least you have relative ratios. and at least there is less for the 'artist' to fuck up. I like your blind person answer. that is really the only practical use for this crap. if you can see, you're better off with a graph.

This is a normal post How you represent visual data can be entirely arbitrary too.
Our ranges of audio and visual perception are themselves arbitrary. That's just a biological limitation that we need to work around in order to gain understanding.

Audio is a good way of representing phenomena with frequency*amplitude data. Visual representations of such things are counter-intuitive for most, and depending on your sample rate probably lose\destroy/misrepresent data. Most people could not tell a Beatles tune from a Bob Marley tune if you ask them to compare graphs of the sonic data, but could instantly tell one from the other if you played them.

Lots of astronomical audio isn't even transposed and we can hear it just fine. E.g. gravitational waves exist within the frequency range of human hearing, various radio sources are wide spectrum and can be accurately represented with bursts of filtered white noise.

This is a normal post We can’t hear gravitational waves ‘just fine,’ fool
They have minuscule amplitudes less than the width of a proton, and took hyperprecise lasers and billions of dollars to directly detect in a single instance. Next you’ll be saying you see higgs bosons on your way to poundland

This is a normal post You're a moron.
A moron who is not making a good faith argument. A moron who can fuck off.

This is a normal post What if people just like it, or trying a particular data set to see if it reveals something.

This is a normal post Ha
Seems I finally induced brb to put me on ignore. If I’d known all it’d take was to simply point out his frequent factual inventions in his first form blather I’d have tried this approach months ago. I’ve got child sex tourist sockcooket, tescovalue pseud brb, now all I need is for “did you know I did a gcse in English lit“ prufock to flounce out and put me on ignore to complete my grand slam, though fair play to him. he not only seems impervious to humiliation but to seek it out

You're not on ignore. You have bad emotional problems though. You should probably take a break from the internet, or at least this place. Work on your humility and empathy. Maybe try new ways of interacting with people, perhaps taking more of a passive and less instructive role. I bet you'd make a friend.
