Summary:Music visualization is now widely accepted by those who prefer to listen to music with their digital multimedia equipment. Especially popular is the music visualization with artful animation by media player software working on a PC window. In response to the sound intensity, music tempo, rhythm or pitch, they show us a variety of colorful graphic animations stimulating the imagination of the ongoing music. But these animations are essentially pure graphical art by the player designers. So they are not directly related to the style, mood or structure or the music itself, even if the graphics includes for instance some waveforms of the source music. In consequence, the graphic animation may remain the same even if the music style is completely different. So the authors in the present work aim at a more structural way of visualizing music.
