Hackaday just had this post yesterday

I'm kinda wondering if this post was because of that, because I found the link in question and posted it there. It's kinda neat to see a possible circuitous route that something comes somewhere else with.

So you were the person who posted that link ;)

Awesome, thanks!

I did this with Audacity to some bmp images. I got some interesting results. I just read in the bmp files as raw data and manipulated them that way.

I did similar a long time ago with zip compressed TIFs and JPGs. Added reverb and the results were really unusual: https://vimeo.com/105317804

I really wanted salad fingers to pop out of my screen.

Thanks for that.

Reminds me that one could (can?) pipe random data to /dev/dsp and get it interpreted as sound data. Heck, you could pipe a wav file and actually hear it.

Or pipe output of C oneliner: http://canonical.org/~kragen/bytebeat/

Audacity allows for raw data input ?

Yes, you have to import raw data.
