Music Visualisation

The representation of musical or audio content through visual media such as drawings, animations, colour changes, or motion graphics. Music visualisation is an important accessibility strategy for deaf and hearing-impaired people, enabling them to perceive and engage with musical information through sight. Research has shown that visual stimuli paired with musical performances can significantly improve emotion recognition for both hearing-impaired and normal-hearing audiences, particularly for performances whose emotional content is ambiguous from sound alone. Music visualisation ranges from abstract representations (waveforms, spectrograms) to figurative drawings that convey the emotional qualities of a performance.
