Seeing sound Sparse matrix algorithms are behind many of the everyday tools used by people around the world. They are used in Google Street View, Google Earth, engineering simulations, financial markets and power systems. Tim Davis, A&M professor in computer science and engineering and a renowned expert in spars...

Seeing songs | 31 | 01 | 2017 | News & Events | College of Engineering When you think of art, mathematical algorithms may not be the first thing that comes to mind. Dr. Tim Davis set out to show the world that mathematics can, in fact, be beautiful. He is merging the two disciplines by crafting algorithms that convert songs into something you can actually see.

A new business card for NotesArt Studio. I'm printing them with MOO dot com ( http://www.moo.com/share/pkxxjs ). The first image is 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' and the back of the card is from 'Sincere'. The latter I did for the LEAF 2013 electronic arts festival.

Blog author John Chawner, who writes about computational fluid dynamics, wrote an article on this art ('Music to Mesh via Math) at http://blog.pointwise.com/2014/07/18/this-week-in-cfd-164/

This Week in CFD When Texas A&M’s Prof. Tim Davis isn’t developing algorithms and programs used in MATLAB and Google Street View he develops algorithms involving force-directed graph visualization and other technologies to convert sound into sight.

Cleve Moler's blog on my algorithmic art, translating music into visual art via a mathematical algorithm written in MATLAB. Cleve is a long time friend and the inventor of MATLAB. The art that The MathWorks used in the preview below is my rendering of Toccata and Fugue in D by Bach.

MATLAB Central - Cleve’s Corner: Cleve Moler on Mathematics and Computing » Music, Sparse... Cleve Moler is the author of the first MATLAB, one of the founders of MathWorks, and is currently Chief Mathematician at the company. He is the author of two books about MATLAB that are available online. He writes here about MATLAB, scientific computing and interesting mathematics.

This SIAM blog tells the backstory of how I came to create this art.

Sparse Matrices and the London Electronic Music Scene Tim Davis (University of Florida) writes: Last November, sparse matrices came together with electronic music to appear on billboards around London. What do sparse matrices have in common with the e...

Gotcha! (http://notesartstudio.com/dr-who.html): A Dalek hiding inside the theme from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. I didn't create this Dalek. It came from my simple rules-based mathematical translation of the Dr Who theme song, which converts a song into visual art. A Dalek?! Who knew?

Just posted my algorithmic visualizations of song by Kevin Macleod ('Cut Trance') http://notesartstudio.com/cut-trance.html . You can listen to the song on my page, too.

Cut Trance

Just sent off my algorithmic visualization of 'Morning Has Broken' by Cat Stevens, for printing on canvas. Iain & Di Duff had this song played for their wedding. I really love the Celtic trinity symbol that came out of the song. I don't specify any design for the music in any of my visualizations. Instead, I create the mathematical rules that translate the music into the visual art, and I'm often wonderfully surprised by what comes out.
