AVCO's Daniel Jackson has created the sonification of a volcano in collaboration with musician and audio programmer Tim Venison for the BBC series Volcano Live.

These audio clips were produced from data taken from the Soufrière Hills volcano in Montserrat between April 2005 and May 2007, during which time the volcano was erupting continuously. Three different kinds of measurements were taken - the sonification combines seismic, sulphur dioxide and GPS data.
