Theory
An audiovisual system becomes coherent when the visual layer responds to actual musical structure.
Useful inputs include:
- amplitude
- onset intensity
- frequency bands
- rhythmic density
Why It Matters
Reactive visuals should not be random decoration. They should reveal musical behavior.
Mapping Examples
- bass energy -> scale or mass
- transient activity -> flashes or particle bursts
- drone intensity -> background motion
Practice
Choose one musical feature and one visual parameter, then define the mapping clearly in writing.
