RGB MusicLab

RGB MusicLab is one of the strangest apps you can find out there, it converts the pixels which form an image into music.

Yes, you read that right, RGB MusicLab can convert the RGB values of an image into equivalent sounds based on their chromatic scale. It begins by reading the image from the top left corner down to the bottom right corner.

Black equals silence; the pixel’s brightness determines the length of the note. You can also adjust properties such as tempo, or the instruments which form part of the composition.

The resulting sound can end up sounding more like noise than music, but it will at the very least serve to see the harmony that can be found in an image.

Note

For Mac OS X 10.4 or above.
