Interactive sonification installation at Transmission, a group show at Vivid Projects, Birmingham, exploring curious audio transmission methods. 2 – 3 June 2017

Manifesto launch speeches by Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn were transformed into spectrographs which could be ready by passing a photographic sonification application over them.

Primary tools are the excellent PhonoPaper app and ANS Synth emulator from Alexander Zolotov.
