visualizing artikulation music

a graphical visualization of the electronic score Artikulation by György Ligeti from 1958(!).

the music predates the modern analog synthesizers of the late 60’s & early 70’s, as the sound sources are a combination of generated sound and tape manipulation. the score is based on a timeline measured in seconds, using shapes & colors instead of notes on a staff. dots represent impulses & combs for noise. colors stand for variations in timbre & pitch.

the resulting movie can also be seen after the break.
