Databending Ambient Glitch Music and Abstract Film

In my first video I used scratched or prepared CDs to generate sounds for my electronic glitch music. That could become quite an expensive method, so I turned to another source for making sounds. I used a free wavepad editor to open random files on my computer and save them as wave or mp3 files. The pops and clicks that make up the percussion started life as jpegs and .exe files. Whereas the to sample that make up the bulk of the sounds were original pictures stored as .RAW files. The bass and organ like sounds were provided by a free tone generator.
The film started life as heavily layered film of a household object that didnt come out as planned. After a lot of editing it looks like this.

@ApesOfBass I used Goldwave, but you can do the same thing with Audacity.

Sounds like this music was created by some kind of artificial intelligence...

@Schilcote Thanks a lot for getting back to me with the link I really appreciate it. It’s an interesting program and I enjoyed experimenting with it. I’ve posted a video which I made using Dataphone. It’s called Dataphone Sound Generator an Audio Visualization. I hope you enjoy it.

@Schilcote Thanks for the comment. It sounds like an interesting program. Did you give it a name and can be downloaded from any websites? If not how about doing a demo video and posting it on Youtube?
