Sonification and Charles Dodge

Charles Dodge (born 1942) is an American composer and educator who is best known for his contributions to electronic music. He pioneered a technique known as "sonification" that would create a musical interpretation of scientific data.

His most notable work is Earth's Magnetic Field. Dodge and his partner set up a correlation between pitch and the average magnetivity of the Earth over a given period of time.
