The genre "music visualisation" represents a new form of music and theatre, combining traditional and experimental means of expression. The question of how new technology can be employed to communicate content has been answered clearly: Three-dimensional computer visualisation enables us to experience Beethoven's music in a new and different way. The new medium "Virtual World" offers the opportunity to explore spatial-scenic, aesthetic and interactive strategies.
The first two Beethoven pieces that were transferred into the visual 3D medium are the opera "Fidelio" and the piano bagatelle op. 126, no. 4.
The music visualisation of these two compositions is not based on subjective synaesthetic models. Nor does it illustrate feelings or colour frequency curves. Instead cutting-edge hardware and software (amplifiers, projectors, screen, interactive devices, programming and data) is used to create an entirely novel effect of three-dimensional sound, space and image for the audience. Hereby the basic idea is the following: Music is a flow (process in time) consisting of sounds which, in turn, creates a flow of image data. The image data flow is controlled and can be shaped by programming code.
