Sonification of Planetary Orbits in Asteroid Belts (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Quinton, M., Mcgregor, I., & Benyon, D. (2021). Sonification of Planetary Orbits in Asteroid Belts. In AM '21: Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Audio Mostly (72-80). https://doi.org/10.1145/3478384.3478390

This study investigates the design and evaluation of a sonification designed to detect any planets orbiting within an asteroid belt of an exosolar system. The interface was designed for an astronomer who studies this phenomenon. User centered design... Read More about Sonification of Planetary Orbits in Asteroid Belts.

Sonification of exosolar planetary systems (2021)
Thesis
Quinton, M. A. P. Sonification of exosolar planetary systems. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2848536

The purpose of this research is to investigate sonification techniques suitable for astronomers to explore exosolar planetary data. Four studies were conducted, one with sonification specialists and three with exosolar planetary astronomers. The firs... Read More about Sonification of exosolar planetary systems.

Sonification of Exosolar System Accretion Discs (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Quinton, M., McGregor, I., & Benyon, D. (2021). Sonification of Exosolar System Accretion Discs. In The 26th International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD 2021)

This study investigated the design and evaluation of a sonification, created for an astronomer who studies exosolar accretion discs. User design methods were applied to sonify data that could allow the classification of accretion discs. The sonificat... Read More about Sonification of Exosolar System Accretion Discs.

Investigating Effective Methods of Designing Sonifications (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Quinton, M., McGregor, I., & Benyon, D. (2018). Investigating Effective Methods of Designing Sonifications. In Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Auditory Display - ICAD 2018. https://doi.org/10.21785/icad2018.011

This study aims to provide an insight into effective sonification design. There are currently no standardized design methods, allowing a creative development approach. Sonifcation has been implemented in many different applications from scientific da... Read More about Investigating Effective Methods of Designing Sonifications.

To uncover the secrets of exoplanets, try listening to them (2016)
Digital Artefact
Quinton, M., Benyon, D., & McGregor, I. (2016). To uncover the secrets of exoplanets, try listening to them. [Website]

From rainfall patterns to share price performance, the usual way to analyse any data that shows something changing over a period of time is to put it into a graphic. Making data visual usually makes it much easier to understand the trends – but not a... Read More about To uncover the secrets of exoplanets, try listening to them.

Sonifying the solar system (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Quinton, M., McGregor, I., & Benyon, D. (2016). Sonifying the solar system. In The 22nd International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD-2016) (28-35)

Sound is potentially an effective way of analysing data and it is possible to simultaneously interpret layers of sounds and identify changes. Multiple attempts to use sound with scientific data have been made, with varying levels of success. On many... Read More about Sonifying the solar system.

An introductory study of the Maltese Soundscape. (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Quinton, M., & McGregor, I. (2014). An introductory study of the Maltese Soundscape. In Proceedings of invisible places:sounding cities 2014 (13-38)

This is an introductory study of the Maltese Soundscape and is part of an even bigger project. It introduces a soundscape diced with traditional sounds which still echo in the present and mutate and conflict with the modern sounds that are becoming p...
