What does music look like?

The pictures on these pages were created
with a simple but novel algorithm that
translates invisible structure into
geometry.

The baseline of the diagram represents a piece of music;
the arcs connect identical or closely related passages.
The result is a new view of musical form
that is both precise and beautiful.
