Waves of Soul (WoS)

High-Level Project Summary

We SEE! climate change, i.e. images of arctic ice.But, we continue to fuel climate change.Then, images must reach beyond the eyes, images must reach Our Soul.Save Our Souls (SOS) for Our Planet.Music is the language of the soul.We feeling pleasant-sounding to tell Our Soul: Reduce Climate Change!!Our team proposes interpreting parameters on climate change with sounds.And search and ask if the interpretation is music or just the noise of the destruction of the Earth.As an example, the values of Sea Ice Concentration (GCOM-W) (https://eodashboard.org/explore?poi=World-N12) has been associated with a musical note (C, D, E, ...) and the temporal sequence has been interpreted.

Detailed Project Description

What exactly does it do?

It plays sounds related to datasets. If Art is reached, sounds would feel music.


How does it work?

This is an open question today:

Each measure (value or data) of a dataset (related with climate change) has been associated with a musical note and the temporal sequence has been interpreted.


What benefits does it have?

Feed Our Souls.


What do you hope to achieve?

Reduce climate change because the claims of Our Planet reach Our Soul, our feeling through music.


What tools, coding languages, hardware, or software did you use to develop your project?

Among others, an acoustic guitar, datasets from NASA, ESA and JAXA.

Turning STEM into STEAM

A goal of open science is to make scientific information available to all, and original and innovative approaches can be helpful to effectively communicate scientific information to people with different cultural, socioeconomic, and ethnic backgrounds. Your challenge is to develop a creative method that uses the arts to share and explain the design, process, and/or scientific results from a NASA or partner space agency research project to your audience—i.e., develop an approach that combines science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math (STEAM).
