HTV-HearThePicture

Inspiration

Turn an image into an audio track

How it works

translates image pixel by pixel into audio tones

Pixel hue -> tone frequency Pixel saturation -> tone volume Pixel brightness -> tone duration

Writes the new audio to a .wav file and then plays it.

Challenges I ran into

How are images stored? How is audio stored? How to translate a pixel into a note Computer generated audio sounds shit… Make a synth? Making a synth

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

works for any image sounds... okay :)

What I learned

Learnt about image storage learnt about audio storage learnt about computer generated audio learnt how much different visual is from audio (so much was lost in translation)

What's next for HTV-HearThePicture

Synth parameters generated based on entire picture (average hue, brightness and saturation)
