It helps the listener to understand the\u00a0music in an intuitive way by displaying a scrolling animation of coloured bars that light up on the screen as the music plays.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a description from the site.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Music Animation Machine display is a score without any measures or clefs, in which information about the music\u2019s structure is conveyed with bars of colour representing the notes. These bars scroll across the screen as the music plays. Their position on the screen tells you their pitch and their timing in relation to each other. Different colours denote different instruments or voices, thematic material, or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.well.com\/user\/smalin\/circle.html\">tonality<\/a>. And each note lights up at the exact moment it sounds, so you can\u2019t lose your place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.well.com\/user\/smalin\/download.html\">5 short QuickTime movies<\/a>\u00a0of classical music pieces are free to download.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.well.com\/user\/smalin\/video.html\">Two videos<\/a>\u00a0are available retailing at $25 each.
