Madrona Labs Sumu + img2utu = Sound Design with Pictures

In this video Cam gives you tour of his new tool called img2utu. It can turn any picture into partials map for Sumu, giving you rich source of spectral sound design inspiration, or way to hide your own pictures in frequencies of your music! Idea is simple: every image has structure and that structure translates into something Sumu can play. Brightness becomes amplitude, position becomes pitch and result is living spectrogram you made from your picture. Whether you're feeding it vintage textures, fractal geometry, or photo of your eggs and toast, img2utu opens up completely different approach to building sounds from scratch. No synthesis experience required! Just picture and some curiosity.
