[accessibleimage] Re: Paintings really can be heard, scientist says

Hi Peter,
I was playing with The vOICe a bit, making pictures and seeing what sounds
I would get.
It was fun. Have you ever thought of about a feature/tool  where sound
produces picture. could be a
way of drawing. Do you know if anything like that exists? I was thinking
of something more than sound producing 
lines on a graph, but something like shapes?
Best,
Lisa
