Overview

An app that converts your favorite music pieces into visual expressions.

Visual Music provides the users with a real time visual transcription of an uploaded music piece. One of the main interests is to transcribe the emotional effects of music.

This means that a dive into visual music theory is necessary. Understanding music theory would allow us to build features such as offering different themes/options based on:

  • the notes
    • color of tone = amount of overtones
    • frequency/pitch/hertz
    • volume/amplitude/decibels
  • the character of the music, which can be specified by 3 components:
    • tone of the music piece (major, minor)
    • the tempo / character
    • the bar / measure
  • the rhythm which can generally be identified from the repetition of different components:
    • notes
    • duration of notes
    • sequencing of notes
      --> This is ultimately the musical expression of the score: a score contains both the notes to play, the duration they must have and of course in what order and how fast play them

Objectives

  • creating an artistic, " painting " like, visual transcript of the music piece, scrollable when the song is over (the data is not erased when overflowing the canvas as the song goes on)

  • creation of original objects, with the possibility for the user to download a HD print file (so if he wishes for it, he could go to a printer and have it printed on whatever material, frame it and offer the painting of a song to friends and family)

  • having a first set of various themes and options based on visual music theory

  • accessibility, by giving a visual transcription of music pieces, making them accessible to the hearing impaired

User Scenarios

User arrives on the landing page. When clicking on " Get started ! " button, he navigates to a a screen where he can upload a mp3 song. He accesses a theme panel and can choose a visual, and then accesses the player page. The song is played and a visual is created. The user can download the visual when the song is over or make a snapshot and share it on social network.

The app is created for Desktop screen and bigger screens. It will be responsive as required but the concept itself isn't for Mobile devices : it's all about visuals and doesn't make much sense on a 378px screen...
