When you were speaking about the clapping music hat, and reading the description of phase music made into visual art, I was actually thinking about the Pentatonix song White Winter Hymnal in which they start by clapping in unison and gradually break out into their own strings of rythm before coming back to unison at the end. It’s a really cool thing to see, video is on youtub. As it is chereographed musical clapping I certainly think it also qualifies as visual art as well as musical art.
