"The CIA FactBook v1.0 is a multichannel music work created
in response to the call for pieces for the ICAD Sonification
Concert at the ICA, London. The piece was created using the
ICAD supplied world dataset, and extended extensively by
items from the CIA online Factbook[1]. The work was realized
in Pd[2], with the aid of data and signal processing objects from
the IEM[3] Pd libraries. The 190 resulting audio channels are
spatialised through use of an ambisonics surround system,
diffused through 8 physical speakers in this realization.
All parameters from the basic data set were employed, and this
information was extended through use of the CIA factbook (oil
production, oil consumption, and exchange rate), and
parameters from the extended data-set. The data was first pre-
processed and analysed in Microsoft Excel in order to permit
the mapping choices outlined below to fulfill the design
objectives for the piece. Initial audio sketches were rendered to
determine the effectiveness of selected mapping strategies."
