Transient: How Do You Visualize Music?

Transient puts the paintbrush in the audience’s hand, by allowing them to play a piano. Their music is then visualized on-screen in front of them, in live-time, through colorful videos and animations. The visualizations fade away with the notes, signifying music’s impermanence and uniqueness. Transient is a student-led, interactive, musical exhibit utilizing animation, live-action production, and modern technologies to visualize music played on a piano. The exhibit aims to create a fun experience for musicians of any skill-level that encapsulates the spirit of music within its fleeting moment of time.
