Re: [microsound] Pictures-Sound

I downloaded audiopaint last time you posted about it, but got 
distracted before I had time to play with it. I just went back and 
checked it out and I must say, it's fantastic. Simple, straightforward 
and effective. And there's an infinite supply of source material as 
close as my browser! Thank you for sharing your programming efforts with 
the world. Anyone who enjoys generating sound from odd sources should 
check out audiopaint. (Oh, and it's not slow on my AMD XP2000+ ;o))

On a similar note, I finally got around to trying out the trick of 
opening random files as raw wave data in Sound Forge. Found that most 
files generated white noise, but I discovered a wonderful, spastic, 
semi-coherent symphony awaited me in the form of an Access database. Had 
to pitch it down a bit, and after some judicious polishing with effects, 
it's quite entertaining. I'd be curious to hear if any on the list have 
had good luck with other types of files.
