Abstract

Musical Flocks is a project in the field of music visualization. It produces animations by simulating the behavior of agents that react to the sound of music. Additionally, swarm-like behavior is attained by following the rules of separation, alignment and cohesion (Reynolds, 1987). This process produces reactive animations and static artifacts that constitute abstract representations of the pieces, with different genres resulting in artifacts with distinctive visual properties (see Figure 1).
