Michael Chinen Michael Chinen , electronics As a programmer and a musician Michael has to appreciate the structure, network, and hierarchy of process. This performance will consist of sonification (the act of turning data into sound) of computer processes in several parts. One will use a hacked debugger to sonify normal programs such as TextEdit in real time by fetching memory, cpu thread state, and more. This approach reveals the macro structure in processes in the computer. Another part will work on the micro scale by taking common sorting algorithms and turning them into sound and visuals. Lastly a custom web browser that was written for sonification from the inside out will be demonstrated. Michael Chinen was born in Honolulu in 1982. He is a programmer, involved in several open source projects including Audacity, FFmpeg, and the Institute for Algorhythmics, a group which focuses on sonification. He also composes and performs. He studied computer music and synthesis with Charles Dodge (Dartmouth College), Richard Karpen (University of Washington) and Naotoshi Osaka (Tokyo Denki University). More info http://fuckingsound.com
