computer generated noise loops (or: audio loop to picture data to audio loop?)





with the harsh digital nose 2.0 vsti you can load (for example) jpegs and convert them to audio wavs. a few weeks ago i already found out that the size of the saved wav is always the same. i tried images of different sizes but the wavs always had the same size, the same length and just sounded slightly different to me.
so this time my idea was: when i´m loading drumloops and saving them as picture datas - what is the result when i´m changing these pictures back to audio datas?
i took some 85 bpm drumloops (with a lot of silence between the beats) and at the end i was really surprised: noisy loops (like using a bitcrusher with a low bit rate) as you can hear them in modern post-industrial tracks. rather rhythmic drones than distorted beats.

the original sounds are already really good but i wanted to create variation. this is why i used the grapheed beatslicer. for this i had to change the wav format (stereo instead of mono and 24-bit instead of 32-bit-float). enjoy!
