Performance on January 20, 2024 by fivebyfive at the Strasenburgh Planetarium in Rochester, NY.

Sonification is the mathematical translation of numerical data points into musical pitches and rhythms. This melody, drawn from the data describing its path, provides the unifying motifs that recur throughout the piece.
