I’ve never heard of [musical paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-paintings-the-art-of-dining) until I came across this unofficial [music video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anime-music-video) for the band Metronomy. The video shows splashes and blobs of [colorful paint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pointillism) being used in accordance to the beat of the music.

The song, called “On the Motorway,” is basically an instrumental piece and as the melody gets a little frantic, so does the painting. Check out the video for not only a good tune, but also to see how music can be painted.
