Iraq Body Count by Somatic Sounds published on 2010-08-31T13:06:04Z ‘Iraq body count’ is a sonic representation (i.e. a sonification) of the number of casualties of Iraqi civilians and US and UK soldiers during the period January 2003 to April 2004. The daily price of crude oil on the stock exchange is also represented in the background. Data was collected from the Iraq Body Count website www.iraqbodycount.net; the Iraq Coalition casualty Count website http://lunaville.org/ and Yahoo! Finance. Data Sonification is a powerful and emotional way for representing and analysing data sets.

Great work! Could be red drops of blood, pelting on a white blanked, too... 2012-07-09T16:30:59Z Comment by Somatic Sounds Soundcloud audio compression kills this track a bit. Normally you should hear really sharp clicks for the civilian and soldier casualties.. 2010-11-28T02:15:01Z
