This original instrumental work by seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones, "In Nomine Terra Calens: In the name of a warming earth", allows the listener to hear Earth’s temperature data over the last 138 years.
...
Recorded by Josh Lee and Ostraka, the piece is performed by four viols with one of the bass viols playing the temperature data. The accompanying animation by Ming Tai, El Ogorodova, and Christopher Yoon captures the rising temperatures as delicate colored spheres while highlighting world events. The haunting bass line chronicles the rise of global temperature and progresses through an increasingly frantic rising of pitch to end with a stripping away of harmonies that converges on one lone note. It ends without direction to represent the uncertain future.
