1. A Survey of Tools for Sonic and Music Visualization Janet G. Lazar

2. Data Conveyed by Music Pitch Dynamics Key Tempo Intellectual content Emotional content

3. Metadata About Music Style Context Description of work Details about recording Details about collection

4. Clusters of Visualization Tools Pitch rendering Music transcription Music analysis Music illustration Music discovery

5. Pitch Rendering Tools AP Tuner (pitch matching for tuning) Tarsos (pitch rendering for analysis) Theta Music Trainer (vocal pitch matching)

6. AP Tuner for Windows Frequency meter simulation Harmonics graph

7. AP Tuner (more) Meter simulation: position, orientation, motion Harmonics graph: shape, color, continuity Both: Good data-ink ratio, direct manipulation, immediate feedback, linked displays Overall: Above-average visualization

8. Music Transcription Tools Finale (commercial) Finale Notepad (free) Sibelius (commerical) Noteflight (free, hosted online) Noteflight Crescendo (commercial, online)

9. Noteflight

10. Noteflight (more) Music notation: position, orientation, shape, shading, stereo, proximity, similarity, continuity, connectedness, closure, containment; data-ink ratio maximized. Noteflight: motion, direct manipulation, immediate feedback, animate shift of focus, dynamic sliders Overall: excellent visualization

11. Music Analysis Tools Hooktheory Analyzer (composing/learning) Audacity (free music editor) Melodyne (commercial music editor) CLAM Chordata (chord structure analysis)

12. CLAM Chordata

13. CLAM Chordata (more) Uses every tool in the box except zoom, focus, and details on demand High data density, perhaps too high Overall: very good tool

14. Music Illustration Tools Music Animation Machine (clear, stable) WhiteCap (customizable) MAGIC (new, customizable) Infinite Jukebox (beat relationship maps) Baroque.me (harp-string emulation)

15. Baroque.me

16. Baroque.me (more) Uses position, size, shape, motion, and continuity Data-ink ratio high, data density low Simplicity is appealing Overall: good visualization

17. Music Discovery Tools Affecticon (proposed sorting by emotion) LivePlasma (node-link map for Amazon data) TuneGlue (node-link map for last.fm data) MusicBox (prototype scatterplot) Hitlantis (interactive bubble map) Tamas’s map (last.fm network representation)

18. Tamas’s network map

19. Tamas (more) Uses position, size, color, depth cues, proximity, and connectedness Provides direct manipulation, immediate feedback, animated focus shift, zoom, focus plus context, and details on demand Data density much too high to be useful Nevertheless, a good beginning

20. Conclusion Music visualization: a lively, growing field with a promising future
