Music Maps - Find Out Who is Listening to What and Where
"The popularity map shows snapshots of current top artist and album charts by geographical location. The Flash-based interactive map works using data from the Gracenote Media Database and shows the latest artist and album lookups in states, regions, countries, and continents around the world." I like exploring this site as a way to see what the most popular types of music are in different countries. For example, look at the difference in musical tastes between California and Norway. Fun site.

Whitney Music Box - Visual Harmony
A very fluid music visualization based on the film maker John Whitney. As the developer stated, "This weekend I've been playing, once again, with the ideas of experimental film pioneer John Whitney, using both graphics and audio. While Whitney was interested in turning musical ideas into motion graphics, I'm doing the inverse - turning one of his key animation ideas back into music. Whitney made a number of films based around the simple idea of harmonic relationships. Above is a visual example of one his ideas that I implemented in Flash." Make sure you check out all of the variations in the right column. Great project.
