Sonify innovates at the intersection of audio, data and emerging technologies. We design and develop audio-first products and data-driven solutions.
“We have been accustomed to thinking that we must spend long years learning how to operate our software applications. Our outlook has been limited by mostly focusing on mastery of the skills required to communicate effectively with our poorly designed tools. We are rapidly entering an age where the tools understand us and can move beyond simply understanding what we want them to create to now being able to co-create with us. We need to shift our focus and open our imagination. And all of that starts with meaningful conversations.”

“Some might be inclined to dismiss sonification as a novelty, but a new generation of screenless devices with voice interfaces, such as Amazon’s Alexa, marks the end of silent interaction with computers. It is perhaps naive to think that data will continue to just be seen and not heard.”
