Various ingenious soft ware tools exist for translating pictorial data into sound and vice versa: Soundhack’s “Open Any…” turns any computer fi le into a sound fi le (i.e., a Photoshop-to-hit-record converter), STEIM’s “Big Eye,” and Max’s “Jitter” track moving objects in a video image and extract MIDI or audio information. But here are a few simple hardware approaches to the same problems that bypass the computer.
