I didn't know what to expect, but this program is a blast! I can tell I'm not gonna get anything else done for a while...

If I understand this correctly, the late NY singer Laura Nyro used something similar in technique way back in the cusp of the 1970s-and maybe later. She could not read or write a note of music-but could complete the basic structure of her song/melody on her piano.
She used to fill out the rest of the song to completion by telling her producer:
"I think we need a little green in this section, and at the end something like yellow"
It used to drive him crazy, but he finally got to understand her meanings, and would hire a harpist, bass player, saxophonist 12 string guitarist as the 'color' dictated and she usually approved etc...
(not to diminish your app,(way before there were apps) just interesting that this was her way of describing music via free-form association)
As you might guess I am a fan

It's cool as heck, that's what it is. I just found my new favorite way to waste time.

Some reviewers miss the point of this kind of software. If you want to make canned music, certainly get a Casio. Mona Lisa may be a poor example. The idea is (or could be) to investigate the translational perceptions among different senses. There are many software applications that do this, some being used professionally. Look into MetaSynth, for example. RGBM is not anything close to MetaSynth, but it's creative and...free. The developer should be encouraged to continue this work and make it available to those who appreciate the effort.

Listen to "see" the picture - Version: 05, 11/12/2007 04:37PM PST

I found this program quite fun and different. What I did was to take some pictures with a high contrast between the subject and background, close my eyes, and listen to the resulting "music." I found that in my mind's eye I could actually "see" the picture. I have yet to combine any of the midis with GarageBand or anything else.
I wonder if a program as this could also be used to catch a glimpse of what people with synaesthesia experience. Just wiki synaesthesia for more info.
All-in-all a wonderful experience! I'd like to chain some scenes together, do a little melodic tweaking with GB or other, maybe add some ambient soundscapes and "see" if I can create my own relaxation tracks. So far most of the "music" I've made would be great for subtle and faint background ambient sounds found in many commercial relaxation CDs. Think windchimes and such.
A word to the wise: turn your volume down a bit when you first try the program.

This software deserves to be played with and have fun. Try different images, settings, etc.
Take a clip and elaborate on it with Garage Band.

Music should be fun and experimental!

I normally do not give feedback on software that I dislike as much as this one.
I am sorry but this is "Lame". That isn't music, it is a computer acting out midi sounds that are really bad.
