Torrin Hallett is a student musician and composer. During a summer 2016 NSF REU program, Torrin created the Hubbard Brook Water Music - a combined aural and graphical representation of Hubbard Brook 2015 water cycle and weather data. The work includes a full year sonification of Hubbard Brook water cycle data, as well as acoustical representations of three hydrologic conditions: Heavy Precipitation, High Stream Flow, and Low Stream Flow. The full year piece plays for fourteen-and-a-half minutes, with a new hourly data point added every 100 milliseconds. A novel aspect is that the music is synched with a moving graph of the data, so that an audience can experience the data both in this new method of aural data representation and a more traditional graphical representation at the same time. Torrin's work is featured as a blog post on National Geographic. The videos are also available on YouTube.
