Image to Sound

Upload an image, choose how its pixels map to pitch and amplitude, and listen to the resulting gesture inside a selected key and scale.

Choose how the image becomes sound

  1. Upload an image and choose a key-scale context.
  2. Change the mapping or direction and listen to one parameter change at a time.
  3. Keep the image and musical settings that produce a phrase you can describe or reuse.

The image stays in proportion and becomes a spectral painting: layered rings, drifting overtones, and slow ambient entrances replace the old scanline melody.

Spectral

Analysis now reads the whole image field at once, extracts global brightness, hue, saturation, and contour energy, then shapes an FFT mood profile instead of a left-to-right timeline.

Ambient

Root, scale, octave span, harmony density, overtone profile, contrast, FFT blend, stereo spread, and atmosphere color build a drone ambience rather than a step sequence.

From visual data to a playable gesture

Upload and frame the image

The key-scale selector constrains the pitch output; root, scale, image direction, and mapping settings decide how visual contrast becomes musical contrast.

Map pixels to pitch and amplitude

Use a simple image first, then compare the waveform, spectrum, and playable phrase rather than judging the picture alone.

Change one mapping and describe the difference

  • Upload an image and choose a key-scale context.
  • Change the mapping or direction and listen to one parameter change at a time.
  • Keep the image and musical settings that produce a phrase you can describe or reuse.
