In order to find a way to visualize any sounds I am doing a study on intuitive reactions and co-operation of the senses while listening to the music or sounds. I have been researching the neurological phenomenon of synesthesia, in which stimulation of one sense leads to the automatic experience of another sense. Genuinely this phenomenon could take the music listening process beyond its current form. Furthermore, I am analyzing how audiovisual art progressed through out the time. Consequently I express which method I would prefer using in my further artistic practice. In this paper you will also find an interview that reveals the point of view of a music professional about audio visualizations during a performance. 

Based on the available literature this report examines possibilities of - How does image work as an agent of meaning in a performance of music? In the chapter of “Methodology II” you will find a narrative of audiovisual arts. A particular problem area of my research question is to analyze already existing forms of audiovisual arts. Overall there are endless possibilities to visualize sound or music. In this report, you will find examples that are explicitly related to the field of the sonology or graphic design. Each method of the visualizations is concluded with my subjective conclusion and arguments why I would prefer using one or the other method in my further artistic practice.

In the chapter of “Discussion III” you will find an interview with the music professional. I find it important to acknowledge the professional’s point of view in order to accomplish my research with more diverse assumptions.

“Conclusion IX” is summarizing the outcome of my findings - Which means can be chosen in order to create meaningful and yet emotional audio visualizations? Likewise I explain the context of meaningful audio visualization.
