Art meets music meets technology

Following the post of Marina promoting an event “music meets art”, I think it’s quite interesting to make some research in this area. And, I found a lot!
The combination of music and visual arts is well known. In many Universities, art students are painting emotions when listening to music.
Many visual artists produced disc covers for rock band: we can point Roger Dean produced amazing covers for the group Yes, H.R Giger and band like Emerson Lake and Palmer (ELP) or Death Kennedy (notably a painting for the album Frankenchrist pushed he band to trial for distributing harmful matter to minors) and many more.
One of my favorite cooperation between a visual artist and a musician was the artworks realized by Tom Phillips for the album “Another Green World” from Brian Eno released on November 1975. Tom realized his paintings based on the songs in the album. The original album was distributed in a limited edition and included Tom’s pictures. (And I have it!!!). By the way, the album itself is considered has a master piece of Brian Eno.
To go back to my favorite subject “technology meets art”, I have explored the computer design capabilities and related to… music indeed.
Here is my finding. Enjoy!
