Aphex Twin

While I was Researching Chromethesia I came across Richard David James, a British electronic musician and composer who has Chromethesia but it was not this fact that was particularly interesting. After doing some general reading I found out that he likes to make pictures from sound which is the opposite of my aim. The most famous example is that in his single "Windowlicker" where he has used the sound waves to make a self portrait of himself.


To view this image you have to use spectrographic software which displays the different frequencies of the song as a graph against time.

This is a very interesting technique, and technically would probably confuse me but I like the idea that I could also possibly use sound to make art.
