There seems to be a lot work going on into alternate ways to veiw things using computers. The Shape Of Song looks at the music structures and draws some pretty diagrams.
The custom software in this work draws musical patterns in the form of translucent arches, allowing viewers to see--literally--the shape of any composition available on the Web. The resulting images reflect the full range of musical forms, from the deep structure of Bach to the crystalline beauty of Philip Glass.To save you some reading it is looking at the notes played (as opposed to the sounds they make) in the music, but it works on MIDI input rather than ogg, mp3, flac or one of the other formats. MIDI is usually created by some one playing an instrument and it records the notes played and a "voice" it is played with.
Make sure you check some of the list of songs already added by clicking here.
What would be interesting is to take the approach used in sCrAmBlEd?HaCkZ! and get that to find the patterns and ways that they are repeated.
