[EN] AudioUniverse: Let Data Speak for Themselves - with Ch Harrison, J Trayford
About this episode
English Edition: WHAM, BOOM, CLAC, WHOOSH - sound can represent many things, so why not experimental data? James Trayford and Chris Harrison want to show that you can, with their project called Audio Universe. And we're going to hear some of the sound samples during my conversation with them.
