Anyone who knows me knows I am obsessed with music and images. I have also harbored a secret desire to explore the relationships between sound and image; to "see" what a song sounds like, and to "hear" what an image looks like. Blogger and software engineer Tim Omernick takes my obsession one further with his innovative SoundOfAnImage software, which converts images into music. Sometimes the music even sounds like music, especially if you play images with a lot of structure and/or symmetry to them. Here's the results of some experiments with recent pictures from Rem Koolhaas' and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture's amazing Seattle public library. They might not make your iTunes playlist, but they're very interesting nonetheless.
