HITSTORY - (Hit+Story+History) An interdisciplinary project highlighting relations between social phenomena & music history.
ANTHEMS - DataViz & Sonification revealing the gender of authors and date of birth of national anthems.
Data sonification: A music piece (meta-anthem) of music works to make data more engaging. This multidisciplinary approach aims to make data perception as exciting as it can be, so HitStory projects will be interactive data visualizations and data sonification pieces. The audible meta-anthem consists of datapoints singing the whole story for you.

Data Sonification
Hit play to hear what is displayed on the score - all arranged in orchestra instrumentation to stay true to the topic.
The audible meta-anthem consists of datapoints singing the whole story for you. The clicks represent one year (BPM=120), the Triangulum sound marks ten years, and the cymbal crash is audible at the turn of the centuries. Individual sounds use visualization as a score: pitch represents the geographical area, notes represent each anthem. Anthems with the female author are played in pizzicato style.
