Abstract

Loki’s Pain is an immersive 3D audio sonification of seismological activity. Visitors take the place of Loki, who was punished by the gods and caused earthquakes. We designed an auditory display structure in the shape of a hemi-dodecahedron and built a prototype with a low-budget DIY approach. Seismological data were retrieved from the Internet. Location, magnitude, and epicentre depth of hundreds of recent earthquakes were sonified with physical modelling synthesis into a 10-minute piece.
