Make sounds from photos and fractals with PhotoSounder
Watch the video.
Be delighted.
Then rush over and download the demo of PhotoSounder because really, are you going to see anything cooler this week ? And at that price ?
PhotoSounder uses an idea that I first came across on the Audio Cookbook blog – processing audio files using Photoshop - but this video just makes it leap off the screen at you. In essence it’s simply a Spectrogram in reverse (here’s a great example of that), but that description hardly does justice to some of the amazing sounds and the images that “seeded” them here.
I particularly love the fact that a beautiful fractal image like the one at 0′40″ also sounds beautiful and fascinating – but my favourite is the second example in this video.
I know what I’ll be doing this evening !

That’s it! I’m off to shoot some music!
After watching this video I’m looking at images in a different way
For example, I bet the stills from “2001: A Space Odyssey” in this post by Tim Prebble sound GREAT !

that is fantastic.
sort of like sonic visualizer, but its free
There’s a sound paint program called Coagula Light that does this and it is free. Allows you to do Paint and convert images to sound from scratch and load images as well.
