The Music Animation Machine provides visual reference for musical lines, from very simple to complex. The developer of this system states that the program was developed from his own personal interest in being able to visualize multiple musical lines at one time, hearing and seeing together the progression of musical material. There are many offerings on this YouTube channel, and one can see the development of the program as well, as visualizations have become more granular. Some include bar lines, some show impingment of notes, and decay of sound. Colors indicate individual voices within multiple lines, and the viewer/listener is able to practice following one line, move out to view the overall musical fabric and to gain skill in micro and macro viewing/listening. I use these visualization videos in Introduction to Music, and find students fascinated by the visual display. I have also shared many of these with my professional musician colleagues who are equally fascinated.
Selections include a wide range of musical repertory from piano solo, chamber, and orchestral literature.
For an interesting YouTube video from the author of these many musical visualizations, that outlines his development of this musical tool, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQfzNJGnqnw
