Juergen Reuter presented his SoundPaint program this weekend at the
Linux Audio Conference: 

    Jürgen Reuter
    SoundPaint - Painting Music


    We present a paradigm for synthesizing electronic music by
    graphical composing. The problem of mapping colors to sounds is
    studied in detail from a mathematical as well as a pragmatic point
    of view. We show how to map colors to sounds in a user-definable,
    topology preserving manner. We demonstrate the usefulness of our
    approach on our prototype implementation of a graphical composing
    tool.
    
Slides and Paper of his talk are online, an Ogg recording was promised
to follow later:
