M 5.0, Southern Peru - Wednesday, June 9, 2010 03:54:52 UTC by Aurchinaut published on 2010-06-09T18:31:58Z Learn more about this earthquake at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/us2010xhah.php Listen to selected earthquakes as they trigger Tectonic - a realtime seismic analysis and sound synthesis system. http://www.vimeo.com/9861812 Tectonic is created in realtime by earthquakes as they occur across the globe. A tightly integrated system between Max/MSP, Google Earth and Symbolic Sound's Kyma processes earthquake data that is translated into sound synthesis parameters. A USGS XML feed is parsed into numerous fields including magnitude, elevation, time of day and geographical coordinates. These data are mapped to synthetic spectrums and processed by granular, aggregate and subtractive synthesis. Learn more about Tectonic at http://micahfrank.tumblr.com/tagged/tectonic
