Aksel Çoruh, who works as an architect in Rotterdam wrote;
" a book by Dutch urban planner Adrian Geuze (West 8 Landscape Architects), in which he writes about the notion of the ' void' as a sea of potential in spatial planning strategies. His designs and interventions in the city are known to take the viewpoint of trying to elicit public interaction with spaces, and form beds of potential where people, dwellers, and visitors alike become momentary participants in an urban (mini-) drama." - http://www.west8.nl/
West8 designed a dramatic urban deck that they call WaveDeck. This is interesting because a wave shaped deck, creates a wave shaped space as well. One fills the other and vice versa.
Waves possess spatial and reassuring harmony and continuity. So I would imagine people observing, standing or walking on a WaveDeck must be experiencing a certain sense of visual music. Music is harmonic combinations of sound waves. Perhaps music can be played visually as well. WaveDeck I guess works around that principle.
What about Edvard Munch's The Scream? In this painting can we not help but see the sound of a scream:
