The Weather Score Project was started in 2009 and has at its core a series of musical scores based on weather data, which are adapted by composers to musical performance. The purpose of these collaborations is to convey a nuance or level of emotionality surrounding my research that is harder for me to reach through my sculptures, and to reveal patterns or stories in the data musicians might identify which I have failed to see. So far, the Weather Score project has led to 12 new commissions by 10 emerging composers and over 13 concerts.
Please contact me if you are interested in participating in this project or would like to hear some sound samples of previous performances.
