The sounds of SnippingTool.exe | Binary Waterfall

SnippingTool.exe's data directly visualized.
Program Homepage: github.com/nimaid/binary-wate...
Inspiration Video: • The sounds of Microsof...
I was inspired by a video where someone visualized the mspaint.exe binary file using audio and video. I thought the effect was cool, but the original tutorial's process was tedious and held together by willpower alone. I recreated the effect using a Python 3 program that takes care of all of the steps in one simple command. Then I ran it on SnippingTool.exe from Windows 10 through it as a fun example.

[@GroupNebula563]

I feel like it would be really interesting to convert this video to an mp3, rename it to an exe, and see how close this is to the original

[@TheNimaid]

The MP3 would be nothing like the original, because compression.
The .wav file, however, just needs to have some header Info stripped, and it would be an exact match for the original .exe file.

Is is possible to convert the converted binary waterfall audio/image pixels exe file back into the exe file

Could this actually be converted back into the file data. Like with dial up and Cassette data transfer and storage?
