Fine arts and music are generally considered to be separate disciplines, separate art forms. How did these two art forms merge in the image of visual music? What is the relationship between abstract art and music? In my dissertation I examine the relationship between music and image in experiments for the visualization of music in abstract animated films. Not necessarily in chronological order, but rather grouping according to their technical characteristics the films that were pioneers in the creation of the visual music genre with some technical innovation. To understand the aspirations of the ever-evolving audiovisual art, it is necessary to know the history of visual music. This review serves as a suitable lens to look at the contemporary musician, a visual artist; Brian Eno’s creative philosophy and most significant installations.
