John BeersA new release is out for #image2sound, the #Python utility that converts images to musical compositions using color and algorithms. This is the version that was used in creating the Placebo Button track I posted about yesterday.
A new track by my #experimental #music project Placebo Button is available on #Bandcamp, #InternetArchive, #Funkwhale and #Bandwagon! This one showcases several new features in my #image2sound #Python utility, including midi export and a "composition engine".

Version 0.11 of my #Python utility #image2sound is out!
A major new feature of this release is the "composition engine" that generates phrases, sections, and movements to create more musical output. No AI, just code. Lots of other backend improvements and bug fixes, too
0.11 - jaerrib/image2sound
- **New feature!** Implements a "composition engine" that generates phrases, sections, and movements from a predetermined definition to create more musical output. This works for both MIDI waveform conversion but *does not work for stereo exporting*. - Movement types, such as sonata or rondo, ca...
Here's a sample of a piano piece generated algorithmically using the color data in an image alongside a user-defined song structure. No AI is involved here. It's all being done with code.
I took a break from game development with Godot to revisit my #image2sound #Python utility. I've been fleshing out the midi conversion, including variable note lengths, while experimenting with algorithmically defined song structures. So, while the notes are still derived from the image data, you can organize and reuse phrases to "compose" sections and movements to a certain degree. Very much in alpha state right now though.
Version 0.10 of my #Python utility #image2sound is out!
While not as big as 0.9 was, this version does add experimental MIDI exporting, which you can then import into MuseScore or LMMS to manipulate further.
I started building a new #Python utility that combines the functionality of #promp2pixel and #image2sound. While you'll still be able to control all the various parameters, you could theoretically allow the utility to generate a random string, convert it to an image, and then convert that to audio. All algorithmically, of course; no AI involved at all.

Übergangsmusik
I titled this album Übergangsmusik ("transitional music") because it captures a period of change for both PLACEB0_BUTT0N and the conversion utility used in generating the music. On one hand, more finely tuned controls were able to be used in the creation process. On the other, there is still the dreamy ambience present in most of the preceding work. Because of the similarities with the "Synthetic Baroque" album, I hesitated to release it. However, I found myself coming back to it, letting myself be carried away, and I decided that I would share it anyway. For those wanting to hear greater growth, rest assured that the next will one will fulfill that desire. For everyone else, enjoy Übergangsmusik! credits released February 23, 2025 Transmuted June - July 2024 image2sound version 0.8 was used for the conversion process codeberg.org/jaerrib/image2sound Mixing and processing was done with Audacity www.audacityteam.org Contact placebobutton.neocities.org Artwork created using generative AI and the following software: Upscaler - theevilskeleton.gitlab.io/upscaler/ GIMP - www.gimp.org Inkscape - inkscape.org
New Placebo Button album on Bandcamp! This one consists of material created around the time that image2sound 0.8 was being worked on and is similar in style to earlier works.
