Caribbean Audio Universe Tour of the Solar System

This show uses sound, as well as the traditional visuals, to represent the objects in space. It is an educational show that is designed to be accessible to people, irrespective of their level of vision. It is a re-make of the original Audio Universe: Tour of the Solar System (Harrison et al. 2022, Volume 63, Issue 2, Pages 2.38-2.40), but using Caribbean based musical instruments and musical choices. This show makes use of sonification techniques (turning data into sound) that we have developed using the STRAUSS code (Trayford et al. 2025, Journal of Open Source Software, 10(109), 7875).

A discussion of the show's design, and a reflection on working with different musical cultures in the context of educational sonifications is presented in Harrison et al. 2025, Audio Mostly Conference Proceedings (in press)
