Art Can Paint Screens: Making Music “Visible”
These digital art screens ingeniously extend the auditory experience into the visual realm, transforming abstract melodies into concrete artistic imagery. This adds a richer dimension and emotional connection to music appreciation. This is the charm of music visualization—it elevates music from merely an auditory pleasure to a visually appreciable artistic experience.

My biggest hurdle has been finding the right hardware to enable something like this. I’ve been using an old Surface Go and Roon full screen, but want a more artwork focused solution.
