Image Synth


Here is a program that we could all use to interpret sound from an image. This program can be manipulated, so that means it can be integrated as the platform for an installation piece. It can turn movement into music and music into imagery (and vice versa to music). The interface looks fairly simple to navigate through. The video link that the Title is linked to shows a tutorial of the program and its ability to make beautiful full range music. It is a synthesizer that is generating the music but with an open code program like this I bet you could integrate a completely unique sound bank. It would be interesting to see what could be done. It is made for a Mac OS, but that also means you could load it on a basic Linux OS (Red Hat or Caldera) which can be installed in onsite mods. It prices up t the $500 range.
For you people…..muahahahahahahaha.

    Woah – I was using this program to make soundscapes back in the back in the day (ie, the late 90’s)! Can’t believe it is still around. It’s got one of the most gorgeous interface designs I have ever seen to this date. Take even the dullest picture and create and amazingly rich composition in minutes. So glad to see it is still around – I never thought they made it passed OS 9.
