Re: [NetBehaviour] colour to sound
There's a whole argument that can be had here as to how you might convert colour to sound, or vice a versa. As phenomena they are not linked by physic, their bandwidth and structure are of different ilk's (they have no spectral relationship). Any conversion system you come up with is therefore subjective and arbitrary. You could use amplitude to map to brightness but how do you account for harmonics? There are no harmonics in colour. If you can't deal with harmonics then the conversion of pitch cannot be resolved except for sine waves. It's a can of worms. You have to get your worms straight before you start to consider your mapping system and then the sort of software you need. It's not a simple question of 1:1. best Simon On 17 Sep 2012, at 16:12, dave miller wrote: > hi simon > I could think of a way of doing it using php, but depends what > technology you're using > dave > > On 17 September 2012 14:52, Simon Mclennan wrote: >> Yo netbehavours, >> Does anybody know any dinky software programmes that convert colour >> to pitch - open source, shareware or otherwise. >> I could figure out a way to do it analogue (I'm not a programmer), >> using a ruler, some leaves and a tuning fork. >> For the Festival of Brown in Brighton this week. >> >> By the way let's not forget THEZONE experimental film nights - coming >> up during CINECITY in November.

Re: [NetBehaviour] colour to sound
I don't have much technology I'm afraid - I'll go the Cage route this time. Many thanks for the thought though...

Re: [NetBehaviour] colour to sound
Hey thanks Michael, Looking at these I realise that it might be more fun to invent my own method with elastic bands etc. I think a fluxus approach via the surrealists might be more up my street. There is something about the term data that makes me want to go and splatter my ink pen all overr and swing on a lamp post while shouting something unintelligible about zen archery and croquet - zoquet? Thanks very much however for the links - I will check them when I have a mo.
