Autechre: plyPhon 

(2008) 

by Lucio Arese is an unofficial-non commercial video for plyPhon, a song from the Autechre release Quaristice. Every visual element is connected to a sound event; the whole video is intended to be like a sort of virtual score.

The whole video is intended to be like a sort of virtual score that develops itself in a continued run, according to the music.

This un-official music video by designer/architect Lucio Arese, is a visual representation of the track plyPhon on the Autechre release Quaristice. Obviously inspired by the Autechre: Gantz Graf video, Lucio has created visual elements connected to the sound events, creating a virtual score that develops itself in a continued run. Not as stunning as Gantz Graff, it does manage to explain Autechre's abstract track.

Notations 21 (2009) by Theresa Sauer features illustrated musical scores from more than 100 international composers, all of whom are making amazing breakthroughs in the art of notation. Notations 21 is a celebration of innovations in musical notation, employing an appreciative aesthetic for both the aural and visual beauty of these creations. The musical scores in this edition were created by composers whose creativity could not be confined by the staff and clef of traditional western notation, but whose musical language can communicate with the contemporary audience in a uniquely powerful way.

Zürich Chamber Orchestra ZKO: Rollercoaster (2008) by Euro RSCG Group Switzerland, Zürich and produced by Virtual Republic. Visualization of the 1st violin of the 2nd symphony, 4th movement by Ferdinand Ries in the shape of a rollercoaster. The camera starts by showing a close-up of the score, then focuses on the notes of the first violin turning the staves into the winding rail tracks of the rollercoaster. The notes and bars were exactly synchronised with the progression in the animation so that the typical movements of a rollercoaster ride match the dramatic composition of the music.
