BERLIN - A classical orchestra in Germany aims to"make climate change audible" with a reworking of Antonio Vivaldi's famous violin concertos, The Four Seasons, using algorithms based on climate data.
A collaboration between musicians, artists and software developers, the composition has been described by its creators as"disharmonic" and"uncomfortable". Using data relating to species extinctions, rises in global temperatures and extreme weather events, the composers claim to have developed algorithms which can"influence the notes on the original sheet".
