Music Analysis and Visualization?

If you are looking for a cross-platform audio library I strongly suggest to use FMOD which just rocks. There is also a wrapper to use it in python available (though I've never used it) It will provide features like getting the spectrum out-of-the-box If you want to analyze audio file, my algorithm of choice is the beat spectrum computes a similarity matrix by comparing each short sample of the music with every others. Once the similarity matrix is computed it is possible to get average similarity between every samples pairs {S(T);S(T+1)} for each time interval T: this is the beat spectrum It allows to get the BPM of your audio sequence, but can do much more like identifying different parts of the music, locate transitions between similar samples.

I do not know what you mean exactly by "visualizing audio", but I think this algorithm should provide you with enough information to start synchronizing image to the audio (if that's what you want to do).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
