Design Approach
- Stack many layers for sonic richness to represent biodiversity.
- Download wild mammal audio samples and randomize through time frame. As biodiversity decreases...
- ...the number of animal sounds decreases.
- ...the number of notes decreases.
- ...the range of musical notes decreases.
- Constrain to D Dorian scale.
Mapping
- 100K Years Ago: 40 MIDI notes, 40 audio samples of animals, 10 layers of chord
- 10K Years Ago: 30 MIDI notes, 30 audio samples of animals, 7 layers of chord
- 125 Years Ago: 20 MIDI notes, 20 audio samples of animals, 5 layers of chord
- Today: 6 MIDI notes, 6 audio samples of animals, 1 layers of chord
