What the inquiry must establish

The proposed inquiry extends beyond a response to volume toward other relationships that might inform an image. Color, form and movement are possible expressive choices to investigate, not a fixed language every piece must use. A visualization needs to be evaluated in relation to its purpose and viewing conditions, rather than judged by spectacle alone.

Research question

What gives a visual response a musical reason?

Project V investigates music visualization, with a proposed focus on visual responses informed by musical structure, texture and context.

Stage 01

Listen for structure

The proposed inquiry extends beyond a response to volume toward other relationships that might inform an image.

Stage 02

Develop a visual vocabulary

Color, form and movement are possible expressive choices to investigate, not a fixed language every piece must use.

Stage 03

Consider the setting

A visualization needs to be evaluated in relation to its purpose and viewing conditions, rather than judged by spectacle alone.

Evidence standard

What the evidence supports

Report the method, conditions and limits with any finding. The project remains a research direction until that evidence exists.
