Letter: Sonification is great and has been around for years

Published 25 January 2023

From Susan Fowler, New York, US

My colleague Alice Preston and I were delighted by your article on sonification of astronomical data(31 December 2022, p 46).

However, we were amused by the suggestion that this is new territory because we presented a range of sonification projects at a conference in 2004. In addition, the International Community for Auditory Display, which seems to have started in 1994, has 119 astronomy examples in its data sonification . Its next conference is in Sweden in June.
