UCC Researcher Co-Organises Inaugural IEEE Sonification Workshop in Cannes

2 Nov 2026

Dr Stephen Roddy of UCC's Department of Digital Humanities co-chaired the inaugural IEEE International Workshop on Sonification for the Internet of Sounds, in Cannes, France, as part of the 7th IEEE International Symposium on the Internet of Sounds.

The workshop explored the integration of sonification techniques into networked sound and music computing architectures. Roddy contributed two papers to proceedings including A Roadmap for Sonification in the Internet of Sounds, with co-authors Sara Lenzi, Niklas Rönnberg and Bruce Walker.

The paper provides a taxonomy and roadmap to guide research into technical infrastructure, design, evaluation, creative practice, and the critical and ethical dimensions involved in developing sonification applications in this field.

Roddy’s single authored contribution, Sonifying I²S Transport Signals to Detect Transmission Faults, adopted computational techniques from machine listening and Music Information Retrieval (MIR) to analyse how I²S transmission faults might be rendered in sound.
