Visual Music Correspondences
Visual Elements of Correspondence Defined
Form as Point, Line, Curvature, Circles, Shapes
Light and Dark as Shade or Tint, Contrast, and Opaqueness
Color as Hues Inside Objects or Qualities of Objects
Texture as Layers and Multiple Mediums or Devices
Compositional Layout as Locations of Objects on x axis, y axis, z axis, or polar radius, φ angle, θ angle; reflections, transpositions, divisions of space, distance-relationships of forms, distances within forms, sizes of forms
Technique as Stylistic Elements Resulting from Gesture and Action
Motion as the Movement of an Object Directionally, Rotationally, or in Alteration
Musical Elements of Correspondence Defined
Melody as Individual Pitch, Bending of Pitch, or a Sequence of Pitches
Harmony as the Relationship of Pitches at a Given Point in Time or a Sequence Giving the Impression of Harmonic Relationships
Timbre as the Characteristics of the Sounds in a Given Timeframe, and Resulting from Musical Technique
Dynamics as the Loudness or Amplitude of a Note or all Notes Sounding at Once
Texture as a Number of Parts or Lines, additionally Parts or Lines Giving the Impression of a Different Number of Parts of Lines
Rhythm as Events in Durations, Notes or Rests, and Sequences of Notes and Rests
Form as the Overall Structure of the Piece in Time-Based Sections
