Very early on in modern seismology research, seismograms were turned into sound (sonified) as an illustrative or exploration tool to highlight the intricate structure of seismic signals. Following this tradition, I have been practicing sonification to find new ways to explore seismic data (Paté et al., 2021) and to discover intuitive ways to communicate complex scientific concepts to a classroom or a broad audience (check my Freesound).
