Sonification presents some challenges in communicating information, particularly because of the large difference between possible data to sound mappings and cognitively valid mappings. It is an information transmission process which can be described through the Shannon-Weaver Theory of Mathematical Communication. Musical borrowing is proposed as a method in sonification which can aid the information transmission process as the composer’s and listener’s shared musical knowledge is used. This article describes the compositional process of Wasgiischwashäsch (2017) which uses Rossini’s William Tell Overture (1829) to sonify datasets relating to climate change in Switzerland. It concludes that the familiarity of audiences with the original piece, and the humorous effect produced by the distortion of a well-known piece, contribute to a more effective transmission process.

音化中的音乐借用

声化在信息交流方面提出了一些挑战，特别是因为可能的数据到声音映射和认知有效的映射之间存在很大差异。它是一个信息传递过程，可以用Shannon-Weaver数学通信理论来描述。音乐借用被提出作为声化中的一种方法，它可以帮助信息传递过程，因为使用了作曲家和听众共享的音乐知识。这篇文章描述了它的组成过程Wasgiischwashäsch（2017）使用罗西尼的威廉·泰尔序曲（1829 年）对与瑞士气候变化有关的数据集进行了声化处理。它的结论是，观众对原作的熟悉程度，以及对知名作品的歪曲所产生的幽默效果，有助于更有效的传播过程。
