greetings!
does anyone know of a linux program which generates audio from graphic
file input?
i.e. perhaps something like sound-hole
(http://proletsoft.freeservers.com/mmb/soundhole.html)
thanks!

pure-data would be good for this, using one of the graphics environments like GEM,
Gridflow, PDP or Tk....

I think that KeyKit will be able to generate MIDI from graphics.

Hi,

audio from
graphic file input?

perhaps Jürgen Reuter's SoundPaint - Painting Music is for you. See the
papers of his talk at LAC 2005 here:

well, it works only if you either
a] have OSS drivers installed or
b] have the ALSA OSS compat. module loaded..
Nonetheless, here's an alsa version:
cat foo.pdf | aplay

So my question is: how can he use this software to accomplish this
task if there's just the paper, and not yet the software?
Wait a minute! I've got it: you must put the image in the pdf document.
But where in the process should you use the pdf of the SoundPaint author?

sure the joke is funny, and i DID chuckle (a bit), but the cool thing is
that we tend to take the absurd and say, "hmmm.... we could probably do
something with that"!

I remember back in the day (probably 14 years ago) when mod/s3m was the
big music thing; A competition was held to compose "chipit" music using
your windows/dos configuration files (think autoexec.bat, config.sys,
etc.) as digital instruments. Some of the talented individuals created
some very entertaining pieces. As a bonus it was fun to export the
instruments and see what their configuration consisted of (and if anyone
cheated by forcing whitespace/capitalization).
later,
Steve

Wow, linux is mad!
I just did
cat /usr/bin/aplay | aplay
and compared it to
cat /usr/bin/xmms | aplay
The opening stanzas were almost exactly the same. What's that all about?

Georg. I really think you've started something here. I can see the serious

words that make different sounds and then assemble them in pdf, then we've

might want the royalties. Perhaps in Open Office .xwf, as they might be
easier going on the royalty issue. All a bit of fun ai'nt it. Nigel.

Yeah, I've used that too, and spoke with people who did. Uncompressed
image files (like .tif) sound better than compressed and are actually
predictable in the way forms, shapes and colors get interpreted.
This in fact is a lot of fun to play with.
