Akashic Crow’s Nest: Hawk of an Uncanny Nest
Well, this is pretty awesome.
Akashic Crow’s Nest is one of the many projects of artist C.P. McDill.
Hawk of an Uncanny Nest is ACN’s latest release - and you can hear it all online, free.
The album is described thusly:
The tracks are created by first making a very long thin picture file that functions much like a piano roll, which is then fed into a software synthesizer which reads the picture from left to right, pixel by pixel, and translates the values into tones, adding variables such as loudness and panning based on information in the picture. The output is then treated to various digital effects such as delays and compression to give the final pieces a warmer, ambient quality.
The whole concept of picture–>music is fascinating and the resulting music is not a disappointment. It’s very ambient and very mysterious. Give it a try.
