Recent university project (created using Max/Msp http://cycling74.com), which explores data-sonification by converting real-time networked electricity consumption data (from various locations across the globe) into audible sine waves.
The data is converted from Watts to Hertz, resulting in low frequencies for low energy consumption and higher frequencies for higher energy consumption.
The data is being gathered from Pachube (http://www.pachube.com) and I'm uploading my own electricity consumption to the project through the use of a Current Cost Energy Monitor (available from http://www.currentcost.com).
The project aims to raise awareness to energy consumption, by allowing the public to see and hear energy consumption happening in real-time across the globe. The project is currently being built as a gallery installation, to be viewed at various exhibition spaces during 2011. (If you would like to exhibit the work please contact me, details below).
To download the software which is shown in the video, please visit:

I'm currently a 3rd year student at the University of Wales, Newport (UK), studying for a BA (Hons) in Creative Sound and Music.
Further details on the project can be found at my blog which is located at:

Thanks for viewing

I would especially like to thank all the staff at Pachube and Current Cost. This project would not have been possible without their help and assistance.
