Following that, multiple definitions of Visual Music are surveyed, and how the related terms had their origin is summarised. The idea of the utilisation of Visual Music in diverse aspects of abstract art would be presented. Since technology development in Visual Music enhances is apparent, its contribution to nowadays videos and live audio-visual shows is deeply deliberated. Furthermore, the impact of technology and theories behind the most well-known innovators in Visual Music are highlighted. This is followed by an investigation of the constituent components of visuals to realise how they are created. It is crucial to examine the visual elements which are utilised to create harmony between visual objects.
