Hi Heart and Soul
No - I was deadly serious.
I have experimented with loading small parts of a .JPG file into a synth generator program called (MetaSynth). The results are unbelievable.
Embarrassingly, the more Adult the the content of the JPG. the nicer the, the outputted synthesized tones. I Guess this has to do with the subtle transitions of color in the skin tones
It's a great program, you should try and experiment with it.
That's why, I seriously thought that putting Word documents into Audacity, might have some interesting sonic palette possibilities.

Hi Heart and Soul
Well the idea was similar, but the outputted & synthesized tones that I am experimenting with, are a lot more melodic, not just noise & blip.
I guess it's what you feed into it, and what you THINK/Believe you're trying to archive. For me, it's the experimentation that is the key to the whole process. And the way it generates new ideas, or leads you down a different track. Yes sometimes it can be a real time waster as well.
My sounds, are more in the Ambient-Synth arena, not so jarring.
In some ways a bit like my Soundscape track, just called "Lynbrook".
Thanks for the link. I did listen to the 3 sample tracks. Did you get to hear the whole album?
It was interesting to read that they had experimented with inputting adult content pictures as well. I might have to read the associated articles, on these guys.
For those wondering, No! Lynbrook was not produced using this method.
