Rhythm ( percussion )
Throughout the whole available sonification transcript, the rhythm remained totally constant—always clave. But the different pieces slightly twist that basic rhythm in one way or the other and thus are able to allude to different musical styles.
Melody
The melody was predetermined by the seemingly random sequence of pitches in the sonified data. The key element of the noise-music transformation in this regard is what might be called chunking: selecting a short piece from the endless stream of sonified x-ray data and then repeating it. The repetition of a relatively small number of notes allows the listener to recognize a meaningful melody, rather than noise (that is, just one random note after the other).
Harmony
The most important element of the noise-music transformation is, in this case, harmony. Figure 1 shows the melody of X-Ray Bossa, and Figure 2 shows its harmonic structure. Adding harmonies helps transforming noise into music. The "random" pitch sequence of the x-ray data complicates the harmonic structure that can be fitted to it and suggests multiple tonal centers (different colors). Nonetheless, the fitted harmonic progression contains enough familiar features so that the result can be perceived and interpreted as music. Stock chord combinations, ubiquitous in Western music, are highlighted: the IIm-V7 sequence (brackets), the dominant resolution (arrows), and the substitute dominant resolution (hashed arrows).
Music Cognition with Susan Rogers
Exclusive Berklee Online Event
Tuesday, July 16th at 4PM EDT: Berklee's Dean of Continuing Education Carin Nuernberg sits down with online instructor Susan Rogers to discuss Music Cognition. This online event will cover concepts and techniques from Susan's course, including:
What is music cognition?
Who are music cognition researchers and what do they study?
How can the study of music cognition benefit music composers, performers, educators, and therapists?

简介 · · · · · · In collaboration with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and Berlin's Benjamin Meyers, the venerable Thomas Fehlmann pays tribute to Gustav Mahler on a majestic reinterpretation of 'Symphony No.1 (Titan)'. Consolidating the worlds of classical music and electronics is no small undertaking but one that Fehlmann is clearly capable of, organising an opulent swell of synths and strings very much in the vein of Wolfgang Voigt's Gas project, even replete with a heartbeat bass pulse in the closing stages. On the other side 'DFM' (or 'Du Fehlst Mir') is a graceful revision of a track from 2002s 'Visions Of Blah', sweeping lilting, pastoral melody and folksy violin into lush shapes over a padded and more uptempo rhythm. Mastering by Pole. Limited, hand-numbered edition of 600!

Plato, the Greek philosopher and mathematician, described music and astronomy as "sister sciences" that both encompass harmonious motions, whether of instrument strings or celestial objects. This philosophy of a "Music of the Spheres" was symbolic. However, modern technology is creating a true music of the spheres by transforming astronomical data into unique musical compositions.
Gerhard Sonnert, a research associate at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, has published a new website that allows listeners to literally hear the music of the stars. He worked with Wanda Diaz-Merced, a postdoctoral student at the University of Glasgow whose blindness led her into the field of sonification (turning astrophysical data into sound); and with composer Volkmar Studtrucker, who turned the sound into music. ...
Diaz-Merced plugged the Chandra X-ray data into xSonify and converted it into musical notes. The results sound random, but Sonnert sensed that they could become something more pleasing to the ear. He contacted Studtrucker who chose short passages from the sonified notes, perhaps 70 bars in total, and added harmonies in different musical styles. Sound files that began as atonal compositions transformed into blues jams and jazz ballads, to name just two examples of the nine songs produced. ...
