The NYC subway system is used by millions of people every day. I wanted to map the movements of the trains for each line according to its schedule in a 24 hour period, accompanied with an assigned pitch from the A minor scale, in order to hear what kinds of emergent rhythms and sonic textures might arise. I feel that this is one of the most compelling uses for sonifying / visualizing data for any system: as a method of observing the datascape across multiple time scales and therefore being able to conceptualize how a system generally behaves.
