“…By aligning such images with music features that convey similar emotional characteristics, a sequence of visualizations in the form of slideshows can be generated. Additionally, the types of instruments played during a musical performance can also be depicted through pictures as a means of music visualization [54].…”

This article examines the narrative illustrations of a female deity called Cao E (Maiden Cao), a work produced in eastern Zhejiang during the post-Taiping era. It focuses on the artistic composition and the cultural implications of this iconography. Using both textual sources and pictorial materials, this study investigates how this pictorial hagiography served as a forum through which a state-sanctioned local cult was visualized and perceived by a heterogeneous audience including itinerant officials, local elites, and illiterate commoners. The mixed audience had different understandings and expectations of Maiden Cao and her visual representation, among which gender-related issues were contested. The present study reveals a dynamic picture of how a seemingly orthodox work sponsored by local officials and elites could be sabotaged because of local people’s expectations of Maiden Cao, and her gender identity in particular.

“…They examine the expressiveness of music with some basic visualization techniques. Other approaches [11], [12], [13], [14] use 3D views to visualize musical components. However, since we emphasize the insights into musical structure from which users can appreciate the beauty of music, 3D views are not included due to potential occlusion that would hinder music comprehension.…”

A major obstacle in the appreciation of classical music is that extensive training is required to understand musical structure and compositional techniques toward comprehending the thoughts behind the musical work. In this paper, we propose an innovative visualization solution to reveal the semantic structure in classical orchestral works such that users can gain insights into musical structure and appreciate the beauty of music. We formulate the semantic structure into macrolevel layer interactions, microlevel theme variations, and macro-micro relationships between themes and layers to abstract the complicated construction of a musical composition. The visualization has been applied with success in understanding some classical music works as supported by highly promising user study results with the general audience and very positive feedback from music students and experts, demonstrating its effectiveness in conveying the sophistication and beauty of classical music to novice users with informative and intuitive displays.

“…Qualities of timbre are often described as an analogy to color, since timbre is perceived and understood as a gestalt impression reflective of the entire sound. Ox pointed out that timbre is an essential feature to music in a similar way that color is to a painting [14]. Indeed, timbre literally means the color of sound.…”

Abstract. Music players for personal computers are often featured with music visualization by generating animated patterns according to the music's low-level features such as loudness and spectrum. This paper proposes an emotion-based music player which synchronizes visualization (photos) with music based on the emotions evoked by auditory stimulus of music and visual content of visualization. For emotion detection from photos, we collected 398 photos with their emotions annotated by 496 users through the web. With these annotations, a Bayesian classification method is proposed for automatic photo emotion detection. For emotion detection from music, we adopt an existing method. Finally, for composition of music and photos, in addition to matching high-level emotions, we also consider low-level feature harmony and temporal visual coherence. It is formulated as an optimization problem and solved by a greedy algorithm. Subjective evaluation shows emotion-based music visualization enriches users' listening experiences.
