Absolute Nothingness - The Kyoto School and Sound Art Practice
Roddy, Stephen (2017)This paper explores how the concept of Absolute Nothingness as developed in the thought of three key Kyoto School thinkers Nishida Kitarō, Tanabe Hajime and Nishitani Keiji has influenced the practice of sound art. The ... -
Addressing the Mapping Problem in Sonic Information Design through Embodied Image Schemata, Conceptual Metaphors, and Conceptual Blending
Roddy, Stephen (2018)This article explores the mapping problem in parameter mapping sonification: the problem of how to map data to sound in a way that conveys meaning to the listener. We contend that this problem can be addressed by considering ... -
Ambient Data Monitoring w/Generative Music Systems using EC & ML Techniques.
Roddy, Stephen (2018)This is a position paper which describes work in progress to develop an AI/ML driven auditory ambient information system which incorporates generative music techniques and considers some of the factors involved the design ... -
The Body in the Machine: Indices Online
Roddy, Stephen (2021) -
Composing the Good Ship Hibernia and the hole in the bottom of the world
Roddy, Stephen (2017)This paper explores topics in embodied cognition, soundscape composition and sonification. It explains the compositional decisions and technical considerations that went into the composition of the piece The Good Ship ... -
Creating Signal to Noise Loops v4
Roddy, Stephen (2022)Signal to Noise Loops v4 is a data-driven audiovisual piece. It is informed by principles from the fields of IoT, Sonification, Generative Music, and Cybernetics. The piece maps data from noise sensors placed around Dublin ... -
THE DESIGN OF A SMART CITY SONIFICATION SYSTEM USING A CONCEPTUAL BLENDING AND MUSICAL FRAMEWORK, WEB AUDIO AND DEEP LEARNING TECHNIQUES
Roddy, Stephen (2021)This paper describes an auditory display system for smart city data for Dublin City, Ireland. It introduces and describes the different layers of the system and outlines how they operate individually and interact with ... -
Embodied Auditory Display Affordances
Furlong, Dermot; Roddy, Stephen (2015)The current paper takes a critical look at the current state of Auditory Display. It isolates naive realism and cogni- tivist thinking as limiting factors to the development of the field. An extension of Gibson’s theory ... -
Embodied cognition in auditory display
Roddy, Stephen (2013)This paper makes a case for the use of an embodied cognition framework, based on embodied schemata and cross-domain mappings, in the design of auditory display. An overview of research that relates auditory display with ... -
Embodied sonification
Roddy, Stephen (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2016)Sonification is the communication of data using sound. This thesis is concerned with meaning-making in sonification. It examines how meaning emerges during sonification listening through the lens of embodied cognitive ... -
IoT and AI-Driven Audio in the Smart City: A Rhythmanalysis inspired approach
Roddy, Stephen (2018)French Philosopher and theorist Henri Lefebvre's The Production of Space (1991) has proved a crucial text for framing the discourse around contemporary urban society in the fields of human geography, critical theory, ... -
Rethinking the Transmission Medium in Live Computer Music Performance
Furlong, Dermot; Roddy, Stephen (2013)Transmissions require the encoding, communication and decoding of meaningful information across some medium or other. Historically, both the artist and the scientist have tended to treat physical space (and the sound ... -
Signal to Noise Loops i++: Noise Water Air
Roddy, Stephen (2018)Signal to Noise Loops i++ is a live performance for the PerformIOT system. This system involves the application of techniques and concepts from the field of data-driven music to achieve a balanced co-ordination between ... -
Sonification and the Digital Divide
Roddy, Stephen (2015)Historically, ‘Western Culture’ has been predominantly visuocentric tending to treat sound as an immaterial and secondary phenomenon. The roots of this bias can be traced back through the works of Kant and Hume to classical ... -
Sonification Listening: An Empirical Embodied Approach
Furlong, Dermot; Roddy, Stephen (2015)This paper presents a sonification listening model built from models of embodied cognitive meaning-making faculties. The aim of such a model is to aid in understanding how meaning is applied to auditory stimuli at the ... -
Sound, Place & Multiplace
Roddy, Stephen (2016)While technology, particularly mobile and smart technology, can be viewed as furthering the eradication of real and “authentic” place; the argument can also be made that these same technologies, can also be instrumental ... -
Sounding Human with Data: The Role of Embodied Conceptual Metaphors and Aesthetics in Representing and Exploring Data Sets
Roddy, Stephen (2016)Auditory display is the use of sound to present information to a listener. Sonification is a particular type of auditory display technique in which data is mapped to non-speech sound to communicate information about its ... -
A Technique for Controlling the Proportion of Information in the Sonification of Complex Time Series Data
Roddy, Stephen (2022)This paper presents a technique for controlling the proportion of information present in parameter mapping sonifications which use time-series data. It suggests treating parameter mapping sonification as the addition of a ... -
Using Conceptual Metaphors to Represent Temporal Context in Time-Series Data Sonification
Roddy, Stephen (2020)This article explores how conceptual metaphor theory can be applied to the problem of representing temporal context in the sonification of time series data. It opens with an introduction to some of the conceptual metaphors ... -
Vowel Formant Profiles and Image Schemata and Auditory Display
Roddy, Stephen; Furlong, Dermot (2018)This paper presents two evaluations intended to examine if listeners are more likely to associate certain vowel formant profiles with specific data types in an auditory display context. The data types and sounds chosen ...
