Music Visualization: Beautiful Tools to ‘See’ Sound Posted: July 26th, 2010 | Author: Manuel Lima | Filed under: Uncategorized | This is an original guest post by Ricardo Nuno Silva for VC Blog. Ricardo is a Portuguese applications developer with a longtime curiosity concerning the impact of digital technologies in everyday life. In the last few years many tools and techniques have been developed to help us visualize songs, music and sounds. One of the most common examples of software for sound visualization is the one used in media players. The tools in this showcase have a different approach, as they truly “understand” music in its individual notes. Below each image there’s the name of the tool or technique, some great video examples, and a link to the author’s site.

m.fastcompany Keeping up with the endless spawning of new sub-and sub-sub-genres of music can be hard. Just when you catch up with seapunk and witch house, they’re not cool anymore. Everyone’s already moved on to Nintendocore. To help you brush up on how rock music evolved into the many-tentacled beast that it is today, designer Brittany Klontz created an interactive infographic for ConcertHotels.com that maps 100 years of genres in less than a minute. "When you think about it, it's pretty incredible what's happened with music in just the past 50 years and how genres like 'German Electronic Metal' and 'Ska Punk' have developed from common roots," Klontz tells Co.Design. Starting with rock’s pre-1900s roots--hymns, gospel, and even Hawaiian Folk--the visualization’s clickable genres turn this musical family tree into an addictive game. "The influence of music isn't a perfect science, as each genre subtly affects every other one," Klontz says. Color-coded arrows show which styles gave birth to which.
