For LISA. A piano-based sonification project of gravitational waves

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

In the paper we discuss the sonification of the simulated gravitational wave data for the future LISA space mission. First, we introduce the LISA project and its output. Then, we present Einstein's Sonata, a multimedia project devoted to the artistic public display of the LISA data. Einstein's Sonata features as its main element a music composition for prepared piano, Periplo del latte. The latter results from a sonification strategy mapping astronomical data onto music. We thus detail a four-stage sonification procedure, that features two data preprocessing stages, a mapping into an abstract control space and finally automatic notation generation.
