Once you import the image into Audacity you can either resave it straight away then open it in photoshop, or mess with it. The black and white image I put a wah-wah effect on (which made it sound supercool and I thought it would distort the image pleasingly) It turned out alright, I presume the waves you can see in it are due to that effect. I turned it up more and altered various sliders and it just converted the whole thing to black and white noise, so there must be some threshold or certain part of the effect that destroys the whole integrity of it somehow.

The colourful image is a straight save, image > audacity > (save as RAW) > import to Photoshop. When I imported the RAW image into photoshop there’s an option to have it “Interleaved” which when unchecked produces pretty things like this.

Messing with this kind of stuff is fun. I bet it’s take hours to make something like the colourful one for real. As it is it’s just pure computer interferance and how the programs interpret information, which can yeild some pretty interesting results if you experiment. And that’s all it is really. The skull picture was just one that I opened to play with because I thought it’d look cool. More play is needed, I bet once you can get a grip with what does what you could get some killer visuals.
