Art That Feels the Music

Artists amaze me.  Today's artist creates a collection of abstract photographs with the use of paint, music, and his camera.


Martin Klimas


Martin Klimas begins his process with splatters of paint positioned over a speaker. Then the volume is turned up.


The vibration of the speaker sends the paint aloft in patterns that reveal themselves through the lens of his camera.


Klimas spent six months and about 1,000 shots to produce the final images from his studio in Düsseldorf, Germany.


The resulting images are Klimas’s attempt to answer the question “What does music look like?”

What do you think? Can you see the music?

  4. That is really cool!!!!! I saw an experiment like this on the Big Bang Theory where they mixed corn starch and water and placed it over a speaker to make it dance. It returned to liquid form when the music was shut off. I've done splash pictures before with a strobe light but it's really hard.
