I will say once more that having a JPEG picture generating sound is at least weird :) Now, don't you dare think that it will produce some rhapsody or anything truly "musical": the result will be a WAV file whose generic settings are user-defined. I simply think that "strange" isn't by far a word good enough to express my consternation as I encountered Sound-Hole. Instead of all this - the program looks even simpler than MS Paint does (and I guess you all agree with me as I take Paint as a milestone in simple GUIs, ha-ha!). Whether you believe me or not.but this is all about the way Sound-Hole looks: it is so simple that I could even feel embarrassed in front of it I thought of something quite hyper-tech, an interface that would go with the very peculiar issue of JPEGs making music. I guess the future versions of Sound-Hole should be more explicit in this matter! It's true that all other text was grey and the numbers were white, but having numeric values in a different color does not necessarily mean they are editable. It was by simple curiosity that I noticed the fact that those respective numbers were so easily editable by means of simply clicking them and writing down new values. Comprised between the button-columns - some text and numbers: Duration, Frequencies, Steps per Octave.

In the lower part, on each side - 4 very Windows-like buttons, with highly-readable text on them. The most of the Sound-Hole's GUI is occupied by two very large grey-hairlined squares.

Could you think about something weirder? I guess you will be as confused as I was when you'll see yourselves in front of its window it really is a weird thing to see a software about whom you know it will produce sound but still it looks nothing like any sound-related software you've met so far. The title of this software has been placed at the bottom of the main (and only) window and beside it some text reads: "Jpeg to wave creation". I guess it was this GUI that has really intrigued me the very first time I ran Sound-Hole: it looked so sober and I felt so clueless that, for a moment, I really had no idea about what I was supposed to do, even if things were rather clear. It is a black, fixed-size window, with grey trimming all around: no skins, no color schemes, no menus, nothing fancy, just plain simplicity and functionality.

The fact is that Sound-Hole looks not just like a hole, but like a black hole (kidding). and, believe me, I will! Because I intend to use this program thoroughly! OK, enough talking, let's put some JPEGs at work, ha-ha! nice JPEG - good job!"īeyond the potential hilarious situation, facts remain true: indeed, it was a picture which did not inspire me at all, but which actually generated a sequence of sounds! I guess that many will laugh at me as I will keep saying such words until I will show them the Sound-Hole. Whether I think about the simplicity of the idea (great ideas are usually dumb-simple, isn't it?) or about the use of such a software I still am amazed: letting a JPEG picture generate e on, this sounds wacko! Having your favorite pictures as sources for sounds or even further - samples which could be easily mixed and transformed into music seems something far out yet here it is, on my desktop! I have even saved a very interesting loop I plan to use in my future mixes should someone ask me how did I create the sounds from that track what would I be supposed to say: "Ah, some JPEGs created those sounds for me, while I was having the first morning coffee cups. Still, I have a broad smile on my face and still, I'm trying to think: what was the creator of Sound-Hole thinking when this software was born.
