Data Sonification: Making Music from the yield curve
summary
Argues that mapping the 40‑year animated yield curve to sound reveals patterns pixels miss, using an exported data stream into a hardware music synthesizer, data to pitch mapping, quantized onto a whole‑tone scale, and sped to two seconds per day with persistent memory lines marking key dates. The sonification turns rising curves into upward arpeggios and the 2008 runup into an ominous motif, suggesting audible alerts and screenless product uses.
