Studying the Sun from the Inside Out
This program explores how scientists use sound to gain new insights about the Sun. By converting data from the Sun's electromagnetic fields into sound through a process called sonification, scientists are able to "listen" to the Sun's energy, offering a unique way to study the complex processes happening deep within its core.
Sourced sounds: sonifications of data sets of solar activity captured by the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) and the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI). This data was downloaded from The Sonification of Solar Harmonics Project at the Stanford Solar Center

Fundamental Resonance is a broadcast series that takes a new approach to the audition of acoustic, mechanical, and electromagnetic vibrations. This project is not just about sound, though. It's also about ways to interpret the inaudible and what things we cannot sense can reveal about the universe.
In each episode, inaudible acoustics and sonified data act as a bridge between signal and soundscape, uncovering forces that shape our environment and experience, yet are rarely perceived.
These audio essays are composed of sounds you would not normally encounter or even be able to hear. They are made up of sonic artifacts left behind by movements of energy and captured through different methods of scientific inquiry.
Fundamental Resonance is an audio supplement to the art exhibition Energy Fields: Vibrations of the Pacific. Co-presented by Fulcrum Arts and Chapman University, this exhibition runs from September 15, 2024 - January 19, 2024 as part of PST ART.
Fundamental Resonance is a production of Sam Rowell, Special Collections, Fulcrum Arts, and LOOKOUT FM. Episodes begin September 15th and will also be broadcast on terrestrial radio at KFQM-LP 101.5 FM Pacific Palisades.
