[microsound] data -> sound examples

[Mitchell Whitelaw <mitchell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some blatant brain-picking to go with the OS discussions...

I'm doing some research on music and sound that (consciously or not) 
does "data sonification", turning non-sound data from whatever source, 
into sound/music. The recent microsound RNDTXT project is a great 
example; other people have posted about using unix to pipe data 
straight to the audio device... and there are a number of artists doing 
this kind of work (not all microsoundish), including Douglas Repetto, 
Andrea Polli, Bob Sturm, Mark Hansen / Ben Rubin (Listening Post), 
Jason Freeman (NAG - Gnutella Auraliser), and Andi Freeman's old 
Headbanger browser.

Can you think of any more? I'm especially interested in works coming 
from a more microsound / experimental electronica angle... I recall 
hearing something about Aphex Twin using an image -> sound processor at 
some point? Who else has travelled the "pure data" route?

"Data art" has been fashionable in net.art circles for a while now... 
and Lev Manovich has started writing his "info-aesthetics" project... 
but nobody much seems to be talking about the aesthetics of data.sound 
(correct me if I'm wrong)...

Thanks,

Mitchell
