It's a topic that's been fascinating me for a while. Sounds, speech and music "produce" images in some sense, so visualizing sound on a flat screen is a meaningful thing to do. That parallel with the Heisenberg principle is a deep observation, I think. A few random thoughts. Colors correspond to notes: a clear red is like a clear "do" note. Volume is like size of the shape. Repetitive patterns correspond to symmetry. And that observation that there's no such thing as a "moment" if sound, and it's always about the past few seconds of sound that make it look like a music. I think this corresponds to multiple image layers with exponential decay: a sound pattern of past would look like a faint decaying background image that eventually disappears. I wish I could study this topic full time, but in our society you either make money or work on interesting things: the heinsenberg principle gas influence even here.
- avaku 6y agoThese are very interesting thoughts, they remind me of when I’m deeply thinking about how a track/song is represented in my mind and trying to visualise it. (With the exception of red being a “do” note, I think because I’m red-green colourblind). Sometimes I’m drawing to try to imagine much more complex visualisations that leave imprints of past music that then get activated again. At this stage it’s more like dreaming than actual possibility that I could already implement. But it’s nice to dream. I agree about society... That’s why I did this app in my free time off work. I could only spend 1 hour per every 2 days on it. Imagine the possibilities if I (and other people) had more time for creative work...
