cartographs: the trans-sensory metaphor

Abstract

The visual music composition cartographs, a work in three short movements, is presented. [1] Each movement is an abstract animation---a visualization of a numeric process---that is then mapped into a single static image (a score)---that is then mapped into sound. Thus through the process of data mapping we hear and see a process unfold, each sense simultaneously experiencing a map (a metaphor) of what the other sense is experiencing.
