Stepping RGB
Spectrogram video experiment, 2021
3 sequential frames are extracted from Stepping Stone. Each frame is transformed into 3 black and white visuals corresponding to their separated RGB channels. These 9 frames are then fed into Paul Fennell’s open-source Max MSP patch that transcribes images as frequencies based on a spectrogram. The resulting sounds are then put into an actual spectrogram. The resulting 9 spectrogram captures are colored according to which RGB channel they correspond to and then overlayed on top of each other. As a result, we get a continuous sound (the 9 sound files played back to back) that fully corresponds to a color video.
