I am not even sure who I would compare from current crop of singer songwriter’s as even a potential heir ….. So much vapid meaningless shit produced today [Black Eyed Peas I mean you] it is easy to forget the faith people had in the belief music could change the world [some folks, like Neil Young, no longer think it is possible].

Music Makes Good Pics Too
I see lots of great visuals related to music and will start firing them up under MMGPT.
A series of interviews with designers is in the works as well - all with the intention of getting musicians to consider the visual impact - and opportunities - present with their music.

If you are a designer that works with music on a regular basis in any capacity and would like to add your 5 cents get in touch [info (at) aquietrevolution.com].

And what about pictures turning into music?

RGB Experimental Music Laboratory

RGB MusicLab converts RGB (Red, Green and Blue) value of an image to chromatic scale sounds. *Also MIDI file which is created by RGB MusicLab can be converted to the original image. The program reads RGB value of pixels from the top left to the bottom right of an image. One pixel makes a harmony of three note of RGB value, and the length of note is determined by brightness of the pixel. RGB value 120 or 121 is the center C, and RGB value 122 or 123 is added a half steps of the scale that is C#. Pure black that is R=0, G=0, B=0 is no sounds.
