Abstract

To utilize visual information for musical purpose, inevitable time-based nature of sound should be understood and considered. Time is the principle dimension within which all other auditory parameters are placed, and this poses a particular challenge to effective sonification of time independent images and their applications to music. In this paper we present two concepts of time mapping, scanning and probing, to provide a framework for conceptualizing mappings of static data to the time domain. We then consider the geometric characteristics of images to define meaningful references in time. Finally we discuss combination of scanning and probing methods in relation to human image perception model, and proceed to suggest its musical applications and implementation with SonART.
