Nate Stevens Something in this album, as inhuman as its origins may be, is profoundly emotional. It really manages to capture the profound power and emotions of a storm, the ravaging beauty of nature and humans' fear and respect for such unfathomable processes, in a composition. Stunning. Favorite track: Arise.

PadraigC Excellent release with subtle but powerful tracks throughout. It's so immersive - just takes me away to some faraway, relaxing place. I'm a big fan of sonification, classical music & interdisciplinary projects, I bought it for a friend and they absolutely love it too! Latent, Arise and Force 10 are beautiful as well. A top-notch release! Favorite track: Petrichor.

raytheotter One of my favourite albums of the year so far. I like the data sonification concept, but the synth and instrumental additions are sublime. This was clearly put together with a lot of care and attention. Definitely rewards repeated listening, with a lot of layers and quiet details to be discovered.

about

Chimet is a meteorological and sea state algorithmic sonification project.

Chichester West Pole Beacon, also known as Chimet, is a comprehensive weather information system recording conditions in Hayling Bay, West Sussex, both in real-time and historically. Located at 50° 45'.45 N, 00° 56'.59 W, approximately one mile from the entrance to Chichester Harbour, the instrumentation on Chimet records data including air and water temperature; barometric pressure; wind speed and direction; water depth; wave height, period and frequency; and time of day.

Over a period of seven days in October 2017, the devastating Atlantic Hurricane Ophelia fed straight into another weather event, known as Storm Brian in the UK. MINING mapped the data from this storm onto various musical values and parameters, including harmonic range, pitch, density and volume - resulting in a continuous piece of electronic sound design that directly traces the contours of the two storm systems. After several iterations, improvised instrumental performances were added on piano, cello and synthesiser.

The original 2,016 lines of source data streams (collected every five minutes between 0030 on October 16th 2017 and 0025 on the 23rd) have also been visualised in the album artwork, with each of the 504 LP sleeves possessing a unique vertical visualisation strip and individual timestamp, corresponding to a 20-minute period of the storm sequence.

In making Chimet, MINING approached both the data and its musical results as a locus of synergy, allowing their respective passions for sailing, weather, sea, sound design and improvisation to intersect and manifest in a singular musical statement.
