Encoding an image to sound

I just read an article Encoding an image to sound, which looks pretty interesting:

The purpose of this project is to encode an image to a sound that can be viewed with a spectrogram. For some time I have known that musical artists have encoded pictures into their music. Most notable of these is artists is Aphex Twin. Luckily I had a copy of Windolicker and a great visualization program Sonic Visualiser. After looking at the images I decided it would be cool to try and encode my own images. I saw a few programs available, but decided it would be a better challenge to write my own program from scratch using Perl.

Enjoy

I wrote a pair of spectrogram programs about a year ago, sound-to-image and vice versa. I did it in Fortran, which was actually very well-suited to the task. Are you rolling the FFT code yourself?	[reply]

You might want to check out Sound mural, that's a command line image-to-sound program. It requires libsndfile and libnetpbm. teabag Blessed is the end user who expects nothing, for he/she will not be disappointed.	[reply]
