(a) selecting a translation system, from a set of-more than one translation systems to generate a selected translation system, wherein each of the translation systems comprises,
a. a set of psychoacoustic cues, each psychoacoustic cue selected from a set of psychoacoustic cues, each psychoacoustic cue representing a distinct acoustic element of the piece of music specific to music perception, and
b. an assignment of each selected psychoacoustic cue to a different visual cue to provide a one-to-one correspondence between each selected psychoacoustic cue and each visual cue;
(b) extracting the selected psychoacoustic cues from the piece of music and translating, as a function of the selected translation system, the extracted psychoacoustic cues to corresponding visual cues;
