The Exploratorium will be running a live sonification of the total solar eclipse on its website.

A sonification, it explains, is used to convey information.

“In this case, it expresses how much light is coming from the sun. A sonification is also an auditory work of art — a musical composition created in real time using data streamed from Exploratorium video crews as they film the eclipse,” the Exploratorium said on its website.

“By pre-assigning a note or sound to every possible data value and running the data through a software program, a musical representation of the phenomenon is produced, with melodies and harmonies determined by the data.”

It says on its website the team has been working to build more than 750 devices to be distributed at no-cost to groups hosting eclipse events this year.
