Graphical and sound synthesis

Most of today I've been working on a project that is the
largest part of my degree and concerns procedural textures
(graphical textures generated from equaitons/sections of
code rather than "drawn" in a graphics app.) the more I read
about it the closer ties I see with sound synthesis... it
uses sine waves almost as much as synthesisers, filters,
noise, merging of two different procedures to create a new
one (consider this the equivalent of mixing two oscillator's
output to make a new sound) all fascinating stuff. Just
wondering if anyone here has stumbled on other similarites
between electronic music and other fields of study?

That is interesting, but unfortunately i have nothing to
contribute to this :/

sounds cool though

I've heard of it done before..... it's really quite
facinating :) thanks for the site, too :)

very interesting !

to ceri: Basically sound and images can be both described as
signals (a broad term, for a general definition: support of
information) and then can be described, analysed and
synthesized using the same basic 'information theory' (see
Claude Shannon).

For other similarities, I can see song structures have much
to do with poetry (verse chorus verse...)

There is a program the is remotely the graphics eqivalent of
Reaktor called Darktree.
You can create very advanced completely procedural textures
by using basic buildingblocks like noise, dots, fractals and
so on...

There could, of course, be a connection between the
wavelength of sounds and the wavelength emitted by different
colors. FruityLoops' beep-map interprets this somehow, but i
don't think it uses a comparative system (the wavelength of
the color and the sound doesn't match in the beepmap, but
then again, I think that would result in "white noise / pink
noise"-ish sound).
