Exploring visual concepts by means of sound is something that may not be based on an apparent correlation, but it is possible and could open the door to a series of great audio experiments.

A software utility such as Portable SonicPhoto could be an interesting starting point if you are into this kind of audio quests since it can convert images to sound while also letting you edit and preview the results.

First of all, it need be mentioned that the program requires no installation. Given its portability, you can even carry it around on a USB stick and use it wherever you happen to work.

Regarding the application’s GUI, users could expect a lightweight work space, with all the controls being neatly packed in the main window.

You simply need to load the image you want to process using the dedicated button in the top-left corner, with the mention that photos, artwork, drawings, stock art, and whatnot can be used for your project.

There are a series of modifications you can make to your pictures, such as rotating or flipping them as well as inverting their colors.

Once you have done that, you can explore your options as far as the generated sound is concerned. For that, you just need to inspect the drop-down menu packing a host of presets. To name a few of your choices, you can go for any of the following: Alien Excursion, Distant Lazers, Eternal Wind, New Dawn, Space Docking, Steam Pipe, and many others.

What is also great is that you can play the generated sound, and if it does not meet expectations, trying your hand at various adjustments is possible. Changing its volume, quality, duration, lowest and highest frequency, brightness, tone, applying fade-in and fade-out effects, and more can be effortlessly done.

Aside from that, turning to a randomizer should add an experimental feel to your project if you need a boost in creativity.
