information aesthetics.
a downloadable application that converts the RGB (Red, Green & Blue) values of an image to chromatic scale sounds. the program reads RGB value of pixels from the top left to the bottom right of an image. 1 pixel makes a harmony of three note of RGB value, & the length of note is determined by brightness of the pixel.
"it is not an impression of paintings or photographs of a composer. it reads a score from an image data directly."

I heard that the last supper had music in it. The loaves of bread are the notes. It all sounds good...
this is fantastic! hours of fun ensue. it almost gives us a (very small, incorrect) glimpse of the life of a synaesthete.
Nice. But the concept looks familiar. Have you seen Picturedisko? It allows for a bit more control as to what note properties or instruments the pixel values should be mapped: http://incubator.quasimondo.com/flash/picturedisko_intro.php
It's neat from a conceptual standpoint.
I'm all for the avant garde and all, but there are plenty of terrible modern composers out there giving the genre a bad name as it is. The last thing we need is a way of automating the production of absolute garbage.
NIce try, but it sounds like a kid running on and off a piano. Means, all is quite random. But hey, it's some footage and a musician has to edit it to get a abstract of it.
