As I procede to contemplate how I might visualize music I look upon various sources. I love the idea  of using Jackson Pollocks work because it is free flowing. His method of painting allows him to harnesses and release kentetic energy that lies within us all. If I am able to truly absorb the music am listening to, perhaps I can release its effects in this way.  




Action lines in figure illustrations help me to visualize the energy, or emotion of differentvariations of line.
