This year=E2=80=99s theme is Sound in Learning, with an = emphasis on making sonification a part of scientific pedagogy, and the = question of whether a generation of students raised to regard science as = something that is heard as well as seen might not have a more holistic = and intuitive understanding of material than is currently experienced by = students who are presented with visual materials only. ICAD's program consists of contributions use that data for sound in = musical, scientific, and applied efforts. MUSIC: The conference will include a *concert* with seven pieces based = on the Irish GDP during the worldwide financial crash, the solar system, = MRI signals, the 2016 Central Italian earthquake, acoustic interference = patterns, node data, and trumpet expanded with electronics.
