For over twenty years Jack Ox has been occupied with the translation of music into setsof visual languages. A continuing evolution of language systems was needed in order toexpress the growing number of sound situations created by composers in the 20th Century.The later part of that century demanded a flexible expansion of parameters because ofincreasingly complex patterns which were being composed in music. It was natural to movefrom two dimensions into three because of the exponential increase in the number of systemsavailable for possible manipulation while translating the different structural elements withina musical performance. Ox will give a description of the algorithmic, music visualizationsystem she developed outside of cyberspace. She will then describe the transformation ofthis system into a Virtual Reality 3 D immersive world utilizing supercomputing technology.She will also describe the two current projects in the Color Organ, Clarence Barlow's "ImJanuar am Nil" and a Gridjam on the AccessGrid with musical/jam structure by AlvinCurran.
