The increases in activity over the last 15 years is pretty obvious. Overlay Volcanic activity as well as when temps are above or below normal over a period of 30 days and it could be very interesting. :-) Great job
How it would look on this would depend on the severity of the main quake and the number of, and severity of aftershocks. This map lights way up when the number and magnitude of both are high. You can see the history of US earthquakes here (take out the spaces!) ... earthquake . usgs . gov / regional / states / historical.php
Wow! this is really mesmerizing. Do the pitches follow a particular harmonic series or are the magnitudes formulaically converted to hertz? I am a composer that has lately been including messages in my music encoded by morse code or other data-to-pitch forms, but this is very fascinating, especially because the scale used does not seem to follow our overused equal temprament scale.
These series of sounds are not based on any scale. I can't give you the exact frequencies, but there are 2 base sounds, each with its own starting frequency. The frequencies are then shifted upward (don't have the exact specs handy) based on the magnitude of the quake. XNA doesn't have a "note" generator per say, so I had to use the "doppler effect" to raise the pitch of the starting sound. Still cool though since sometime the 2 sounds intermingle and sound in harmony.
Cool! Do you have any ideas on what data I can turn into music/sound? I would prefer sources that were in CSV format or similar. I'm thinking I might do the stock market maybe...

Hey,
nice idea. I'd like to hear more panning. Not just left/right, but also up/down. Try some spatial or binaural panning.
Greetings,

Esta muy bonito... Pero no creo q sean del todo cierto algunos terremoto.
Sobre todo xq detuve el video justamente fueron los dos terremotos en mi pais y no aparecio ninguna luz :-(
Pero x lo demas sta muy bonito

hahhaha, maybe beautiful but those where the signs of strange earthquakes that will defame our planet sooner

i wanna know how big that earthquake was in the 1800s (the one in america that was like 7 or something) on this thing.

don't know right now, but I'll promise to let you know when I come up with one.

i'm interested in these pieces you make; interpreting data as sound/visual. keep up the good job!
