Visualization of Sounds: Improving the Listening Experience Through Digital Visualization

<p>    </p> <p>In this project we will observe the persuasiveness of visualization when pertaining to audio data. Specifically, we look at instrumental music composition and observe how visualization can facilitate the communication of a music-maker's state of mind. We first examine, through a research process, how visualization can facilitate the processing of information. Then, steps are taken using data bending and digital data visualization techniques – with minimal creative input – to generate animated visuals from the audio data. Finally, the digital visualizations are introduced to participants via a survey to measure how effective these visualizations were at translating intentionality. </p>
