The journey of the discovery of a visual sound actually started when the Ocular Harpsicord was discovered by Father Louis Bertrand Castel in 1730. This usually involved candles being places behind coloured glass in holes above an organ. Flaps covering those holes were linked to keys of the instrument which when pressed would reveal the coloured light from the candles.
The invention of kaleidoscope was another step towards visualising sound better. I personally do feel that kaleidoscopes are a brilliant way to portray sound. They change form and colour just as easily as sound does. They are as kinetic as sound really is.
