Sounds of the Americans

Game across this very unusual project today – such a wild idea.

Sounds of the Americans
Sounds of the Americans by Andrew Emond is an experiment in sound and photography using the contents of Robert Frank’s photo book The Americans as a foundation for exploration. The audio tracks are the result of converting the photographs to sound via computer software outlined below. Similarly, the images have been created by loading the sounds into a spectrograph application which allows one to recreate the original photographs in a highly altered form.
