Tectonic - Free Earthquake Sonification Library for Ableton Live 8

By Guest | March 2, 2011

Puremagnetik sound designer Micah Frank has released a compilation of

content generated by real-time earthquake data. These sonifications

are now available as an hour of ambient material and a free Ableton

Live Pack of almost 1GB in size.

Frank has spent the past 14 months collecting voluminous earthquake

data and processing them through a Kyma sound design system. By

parsing the data and routing them through granular, subtractive and

physical modeling processes, Frank has 'profiled' hundreds of

earthquakes as miniature sound sculptures. This sound set represents a

hand picked selection of the generated content freely available via
