The Shape of Song: What does music look like?

September 7, 2006  |  By Sotek  |  0 Comments

song_like_a_prayer.gifWhat does music look like? The Shape of Song is an attempt to answer this seemingly paradoxical question.

The custom software in this work by Martin Wattenberg (a New York-based digital artist whose work centers on the theme of mapping information) draws musical patterns in the form of translucent arches, allowing viewers to see - literally - the shape of any composition available on the Web.

The resulting images reflect the full range of musical forms, from the deep structure of Bach to the crystalline beauty of Philip Glass.
