S&S W4 Experiment Sound

For this experiment I researched if it was possible to transfer pixels into sound. I selected a single line to a Photoshop RAW file. A line with a width of 500 pixels is 0.00.039 on the timeline whereas 1920 pixels are 0.00360 sec. Conclusion; the more pixels the longer the sound of one row.

Than I was asking myself can I just put in a single image or will it be different when I transfer row by row and am I really hearing different sounds than or is the same. I took 2 different rows not to close to each other and they show a different wave pattern.

Knowing this I start the boring work selecting all the rows of an image one by one and save them to be a RAW file. And see how to put them together in one sound file.

one row wave pattern

a different row

I now have the first 100 rows and I am wondering how to put them together. It was harder than I hoped. I imported the raw files in audition; then exported them as a mp3 to import them in premiere. Did some leveling (a bit les loud) and then exported it as a mp3.

To just add an mp3 to this site is not possible. I recorded the sound waves and put them together with the sound.

the image I am using for this experiment

Conclusion; I can convert a photo into sound; not the most beautiful sound in the world but I am intrigued, I will certainly continue with this. Since my project is called "screaming landscapes" for the time being, this conversion from an image to sound certainly fits in the whole.
