Abstract

This paper discusses our experiments with a method of creating visual representations of music using a graphi-cal library for Impromptu that emulates and builds on Logo’s turtle graphics. We explore the potential and limitations of this library for visualising music, and describe some ways in which this simple system can be utilised to assist the musician by revealing musical struc-ture are demonstrated.
