\nWe found an interesting little blub about a software program that converts images into music. Specifically, it “converts the RGB, Red, Green, and Blue, values of every pixel of an image and plays a 3 note harmony based on the RGB values. It reads the pixels from top left to bottom right playing a song a long the way.” According to se\u00f1or willburns1 on his blog (link<\/a>), “most of the time it seems like set a child loose on a piano but it is sometimes pretty cool.” <\/p>\n
Intrigued, I thought I’d spice up this Friday afternoon with audio created from some of my favorite images, but alas! it was not to be. It seems there’s a patent on this technology, and Kenji Kojima, the creator of <a href="RGB MusicLab<\/a>, was told to stop:<\/p>\n \nDear people, Kenji Kojima\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Some samples<\/a> are still online, if MIDI is your thing.<\/p>\n\n
\nI was informed that I had to remove RGB MusicLab from the web site from a person who had a patent that enabling the interpretation of color as music. I have never heard it was a patent and believed it belonged to all humankind. However I have to obey the US law.<\/p>\n
