    Default Aug/Sept '19 Lite Challenge: Red Cave

    Here is a link to the song: https://youtu.be/19a0GAOg6d4 (if you like it look for the "Take Away" live in a metro version)
    and lyrics:https://genius.com/Yeasayer-red-cave-lyrics

    It references the town in Wales with a long name. http://www.businessinsider.fr/us/wel...europe-2015-9/

    Failed attempt: Originally, my idea was to use a spectral frequency display to somehow generate terrain or elevation data and feed that into Wilbur or something to get a bitmap; but I wasn't able to get anything figured out (so far). I was working with Concertio de Arenjuez by Joaquin Rodrigo as interpreted by Miles Davis on his Sketches of Spain album (non pop songs give spectragraphs that are more varied and irregular; thus maybe better for terrain mapping, idk as I never got it to work). I thought I could then invent a camino map with the data I had; maybe some other time. However, the spectragraph did look like a red cave to me, which made me think of the Yeasayer song I went with.


    So the lyrics are pretty simple and just describe a journey to the town with the descriptive name; I've tried to use manipulated images of waveforms to generate some of these locations (to be honest though some of the waveform shapes come from other audio). I've used Adobe Audition (Cool Edit Pro!) for the spectral image generation. Still a lot to finish, change, or redo. Mods-please let me know if I need to change this, but the coastline is traced out from satellite imagery (google?), but altered.

    Welcome to the challenge Deeds, an ambitious project you have there.

    Nothing wrong with using Google satellite images for your coastline.

    A small update, still slowly creeping to something that looks less like mismashed clip art if possible:
