Music, as a form of art that combines auditory perception and personal creativity, often transcends the boundaries of traditional notation. This paper unveils the power of “listening” to graphic notation, revealing new paths of understanding and experiential engagement with sound. Through the journey that links “musicophilia” with “biophilia”, synesthesia with aesthetic perception, music is approached as a living dialogue between senses, images and sounds.

  The starting point of this exploration is the film “Fantasia” (1940), a cinematic microcosm between music and imagery. Through the works of four pioneering composers: Anestis Logothetis, John Cage, Cornelius Cardew and Brian Eno, the audience is led into an interpretative adventure into the world of graphic scores. Their scores are not mere instructions, but visual artworks that redefine the concept of musical experience.

By comparing the methods and approaches of the composers, a new dimension of musical creation emerges, where notation transforms into an auditory trace and reading becomes an acoustic adventure. The final conclusion emphasizes graphic notation as an act than bridges the visible with the audible, enriching our understanding of music as a multidimensional art form.
