[microsound] image sonification techniques

[christopher jette]

Glad to see this topic has come up, enjoying the results.  I have also been
doing some work with scan synthesis, although I was working with a dancer
as input. (http://vimeo.com/28209478).  The project is resting and evolving
at this time, but we are going to reopen it in a few weeks and perform in
Palo Alto.

Cheers~
Christopher
