Post device turns images into midi
This is kinda bizarre. Basically it's a home built contraption that reads gray scale off a page of paper and converts it into sounds. For some reason this is something I could see Gfree building.

It's pretty inventive.

The opposite is what I would like to see. :) Most people have lots of images, I have lots of sound too. :)

Still... interesting.

It's not quoete exactly the opposite, but Gfree, you might want to check out audiosurf. It's an indie game 'racing' game where the speed, appearance, tempo and mood of the track adapts to the musics you choose to upload into the game. Really cool. :)

Quote:
Audiosurf synchronizes the environment, traffic patterns and scenery with the events in the current song. Each music file imported to the game by the user is first analyzed by the game engine, and an ASH file (containing the dynamics of the sounds and how the track and blocks are arranged) associated to the music is created and saved (typically around 30 kilobytes). This helps speed up the loading time of future replays of the same sound file. The game loads the environment from the ASH files, with the track's elevation, surface and layout reflected in the dynamics of the music being played. For example, if a player were to choose to play a very soft and mellow song, the track would be uphill, very slow, relaxing and rich in cool colors. If a player were to choose a very intense and loud song, the track would be downhill, sped up, thick with traffic and lit up with hot colors.



You can find tons of examples on youtube :)
