Rheo (2009) by Ryoichi Kurokawa is a new form of audiovisual expression inspired by the constant flux of landscapes. Ryoichi Kurokawa tends to eliminate the boundaries of our physical perception. A minimal, yet chaotic conflux of visual and auditory perception merges into an experience of memory and ambiguity, where virtual and actual images are no longer distinguishable. (Cimatics)

Fantasia (1940) is an American animated feature produced by Walt Disney and the third film in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. Fantasia features animation set to classical music and no dialogue.

Animated artwork of varying degrees of abstraction or literalism was used to illustrate or accompany the concert in various ways. (Wikipedia)

Combustion (2011) by Montreal-based designer Renaud Hallee plunges the viewer, from each image and note to the next, closer and closer to its materials as they catch fire and culminate in an explosion of colours and sounds. Carried along by a scorching musical score, Combustion is a brisk and novel look at fire, a source of fascination for everyone everywhere since the beginning of time. (SXSW)

LT24 (2010) is an experimental movie directed by Lucio Arese with Ametsub soundtrack, bringing an original technique that links images and music together through simulated timelapse. The film depicts a 24 hours day compressed into 2 minutes 24 seconds (600x) where a group of construction workers builds a steel structure placed into a square arena. The environment has an atmospheric system based on real solar azimuth and elevation data, corresponding to the geographic location of Turin at the 21st of June 2010. (Lucio Arese)
