homework 1
I decided to try and synthesize a sound out of the images by processing them with software, using the brightness of the pixel to create a sound.
First I tried it in Processing, going through the pixels and converting the brightness of the pixel into a value between -1 and 1 and storing those frame by frame in .wav files. This worked sort of except most of the sounds sounded very similar, they all pretty much sounded like the first photo:
the only one that kind of worked was this one:
then I moved over to openFrameworks and made the brightness of the pixel change the frequency of a sine wave. I couldn't record these because the got to slow with snapz running, but here is the app and source code to download
I also made a version of the application that runs off off of a webcam
