We have re-designed the stats in sound app to bring you the ERC-20! The ERC-20 now lets you add your own COSM feeds to sonify your own data! Download for Mac Windows version coming soon. In order to help you make your own sensor, we have created two tutorials on instructables.com. Check them out [...]
We proudly announce the Stats in Sound Plant Player! This Windows and Mac OS application will allow you to listen to the reactive composition generated by the health and photosynthesis data of plants growing throughout South Wales. The app works by retrieving environmental data from remote sensors we’ve placed in locations throughout South Wales. [...]
We’ve covered capturing environmental data using an Arduino and have numbers streaming into a computer, but how will this generate sound? Whichever way we do it, we need to plan what the sounds represent and how the data will affect them. We want the sounds to represent the plant and it’s reactions to the environment [...]

Here’s a fairly simple Arduino project that will monitor your plant’s soil moisture and play a melody when it needs watering! The example sketch will play ‘good vibrations’ by the beach boys to let you know when your plant needs watering, but you can modify it to play anything else! All you need is [...]
We spent the day with years 5 and 6 of Greenway Primary School providing workshops looking into the Arduino technologies we will be using on our music installation. This was something very different for the children, however, they took to it like a fish to water and were soon asking lots of questions about the [...]
Day 2 of our schools engagement project took us to Greenway Primary School in Cardiff working with years 5 and 6. Again we were very lucky to have a sunny day to do our Soundwalk and we took full advantage of this. After a brief presentation on what the project was about, we split the [...]
Today, we spent the first day of our schools engagement project working with years 4, 5 and 6 of Llanharan Primary School. We started in the classroom by giving a short presentation on what the project was about about, followed by a discussion on what sound is. We then went on to go through the [...]
One of the challenges we faced when using sensors in remote locations was obtaining a constant power source. The Arduino boards only draw a small amount of current, however using a standard battery would still require frequent replacements. With several sensors placed at locations throughout South Wales, regularly replacing the batteries would be costly, time [...]
We would advise that you have at least some basic Arduino knowledge before having a go at this.. The Arduino website has everything you need to get started. This quick walkthrough will show you how to start getting some environmental data into you computer over USB. Here’s a list of all the bits you will need, google [...]
There are some amazing projects happening all over the world using similar technologies, concepts and ideals that have inspired us to develop Stats in Sound. The increasing popularity and accessibility of technologies such as Arduino, and with the increasing public access wifi coverage, smartphone technology and mobile connectivity, has enabled us, and others, to create [...]
