“…A plethora of real-time music visualizers provide stimulating experiences by reacting to the music's tempo, rhythm, strength, or pitch. Diverse varieties of geometric designs have been utilized in the visualization of musical rhythms, such as bars [22,38], radial forms [24], spirals [9], isochords [4], arc diagrams [56], and three-dimensional structures [39,55]. One of the earliest works by Kubelka [31] proposes a proof-of-concept interactive music visualizer comprising three primary units -a sound analyzer, a visualization module, and a scene editor.…”

“…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.…”

Visualizing the Semantic Structure in Classical Music Works

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.

“…In these examples, the visitor interacts with the virtual environment to influence or produce a musical and sound environment. This approach is also used to propose new concepts of musical instruments called "Virtual Reality Musical Instruments" (VRMIs) like in (Leonard et al 2013) and (Valbom & Marcos, 2007). Conversely, virtual reality environments can be used to enhance the access to the music for the pubic as in (Berthaut, Marshall, Subramanian, & Hachet, 2013) and (Berthaut, Zappi, & Mazzanti, 2014).…”

The EvoluSon project proposes an immersive experience where the spectator explores an interactive visual and musical representation of the main periods of the history of Western music. The musical content is constituted of original musical compositions based on the theme of Bach's Art of Fugue to illustrate the eight main musical eras from Antiquity to the contemporary epoch. The EvoluSon project contributes at the same time to the usage of VR for intangible culture representation and to interactive digital art that puts the user at the centre of the experience. The EvoluSon project focuses on music through a presentation of the history of Western music, and uses virtual reality to valorise the different pieces through the ages. The user is immersed in a coherent visual and sound environment and can interact with both modalities. This project is the result of collaboration between a computer science research laboratory and a research laboratory on art and music. It was first presented to a public event on science and music organised by the computer science research laboratory.
