How to turn an SVG sketch or body into a spiral

[electronicallye]

Hello,

I have an SVG of a music track (attached as "Music Track.svg") which I would like to extrude in a spiral shape. I have tried using the 'emboss' feature on a 'coil' of type 'spiral' which I cannot seem to get to work. I have also tried extruding the sketch as an SVG, converting to 'sheet metal' and then using the 'bend' feature. I would like the start of the music track to be at the inner most part of the coil and the end of the music track to be at the end of the coil. The number of coils and the thickness of the coil does not necessarily matter (I can adjust this later). It would be much appreciated if someone could explain how to do this.

In other words, I would like to texture a spiral with the musical track.

I am using the below image as a source of inspiration (the one I plan to make is not going to appear as extreme in its spikes):

It didn't go smoothly but do you mean an output like this?

Yes, that is exactly what I am looking for. Would you mind explaining your process?

I used CorelDraw to create a spiral of length 1330mm to match my interpretation of your .svg length. Did you review my Fusion 360 file?

Thanks for that. Yes I did have a look. I was curious about a few things:

How did you match the length of the spiral to the music track?

How did you apply the music track to the spiral using the ‘emboss’ feature?

If possible, would you be able to describe the steps?

I used CorelDraw because I have been using that since the 1980s and it's what I know best! It has an inbuilt Spiral and Logarithmic spiral creator and I simply guessed the size and then once created I measured the total length and then scaled the spiral to get close. I then saved that as a .dxf ( and your svg as well because I have no real control over the dimensions of .svg files.)

 Yes then I used emboss on the solid body created from the spiral (with offset to 3mm Thickness) I had intended to Unfold a sheet metal body but that did not work as expected. I did not fine-tune the start of the emboss to the start of the solid body spiral and I think in total I have cropped the lst seconds away but that can be fined tuned with the Horizontal-offset in the Emboss
