While reading this article, something that came to mind was how, in a way, sound already has some sort of visualization in nature like how noise lies on a color spectrum or how sine waves have a defined shape. While live coding, I usually try to visualize how the sounds that I generate sound and I find myself always going back to sound waves for inspiration or use them as a base to build off of. I found the works of Paul Klee particularly refreshing because he managed to capture how sound would feel in a still painting using simple shapes and colors.

 

One form of sound visualization that I hadn’t thought about as a form of art is music videos. Because of how normalized music videos have become, I never thought of them as a form of “art” that combines both sound and visuals. This kind of adds up to when the author says “the dual profession of artist-musician/musician-artist is no longer anything of note” and makes me question whether we must create something drastically different for the work to be “noteworthy”
