Many contemporary composers are currently exploring the use of live visualizations to enhance already-existing aural-based compositions. The challenges are considerable: Artistically, how can visualizations enhance rather than detract from the music and the performers? Technically, how can the visualizations be described in a way which easily allows specificity, offers a rich set of possibilities, and yet offers a rich context for expression? An environment for visualizations needs be carefully designed. Otherwise it is too easy for it to be compared with (and nor more effective than) the many visualizations already existing in readily-available free audio players, such as Windows Media Player. | Many contemporary composers are currently exploring the use of live visualizations to enhance already-existing aural-based compositions.
