Any data can be randomly mapped to sound synthesis parameters. There is no real link between them. It is a conceptual suggestion that the sounds actually reflect the input. Sound “artists” have been pulling this one off for years, and will continue to recycle the idea over and over again (hardly a creative act). The whole trick relies on ignorance about sound synthesis, and providing you with a verbal concept which distracts your attention from the fact that it is clearly disconnected nonsense. A bit like a child pushing the button on a arcade machine when it is actually in demo mode. Feels good for about two seconds. Wake up please.
