Reverse Visualization Music Creation

JestBlaze · 5th May 2008, 15:07

In countless ways, we can create visualizations from music.
How about now, we try to create music from visualizations using inverse algorithms or however it works.
Simply put, Use a base non-vocal song and webcam input to create a new song entirely. The new song would be generated by movements from the webcam... Is this possible?

haha, i like the idea but i think it's impossible because the only pattern you have in flowing images are the fps.colour, shape and brightness change in a non-algorithmical way in webcam signals or any other material shooted in the real world => no usable informations
you may hear a little noise but nothing that would come close to any piece of music (free jazz maybe

)

as for visualizations of music: the colour of the visualizations are not influenced by the song, so there would be a beat maybe but the melody would be that random, that you couldn't figure out a song or something like that
