That has been done... Fractint a (fractal rendering program) has a
mode that plays a note whose pitch and timber are determined by the
color and depth of the point being rendered. 
(I believe both pitch and timber anyway, been a while)  

One thing to consider with fractals is that they a chaotic and while
the results may be striking to the eye, it can be very annoying to the
ear.
