Sonic Layering

• Represent "abundance," "richness," or a large quantity with more layers of sound.
• Capture a reduction of quantity by reducing the number of layers.
• Layers / richness → simplicity / sparseness

Randomization & Scattering

• Represent a large quantity with many notes.
• Capture wide-ranging data values by scattering notes across pitch and position.
• More clustered notes reflect less range.
• Sonic diversity → sonic homogeneity

Amplitude

• Represent large quantities or salient characteristics with greater amplitude.
• Loudness reflects presence and abundance, and quietness reflects decline.
• Capture a reduction of range with fewer, more clustered notes.s
• Loudness → softness

Sonic Intervals

• Represent distance of data values with musical distance.
• Capture variation between data points greater ranger between notes.
• Sonic difference → sonic similarity
