SOUNDING CROCHET 👁 102 | | 2024-09

The fundament of this experiment is a simple online 8-bit sound generator. This software also generates a visual representation of the sound itself. We take this simple monochrome graphic information as DepthNET/ControlNET guide for some diffusion experiments. The intrigiung patters, we can observe in the quiet abstract sound visualizations, become reperesented with actual traditional crochet and knitting patterns. Therefore, the quiet immaterial quality of sound is transformed in a kind of haptic format.

The sound generator

The generator simply takes the generated waveform and draws smoothed dots in specific interval to the canvas. With manual sliders, you can manipulate the sound as you like.
