Artist History The IBIS Project is an endeavor to provide sound files corresponding to gravitational waveforms from full nonlinear evolution simulations of inspiralling binary black holes. It originates in the Numerical Relativity Group of the Albert Einstein Institute in Golm, Germany. The project name is derived from the ibis, a rather pretty bird with a surprisingly unsatisfying call (somewhere between "caw" and "raaaaaaaaaak").
