I did some more research to find more people that are using film/video/motion graphics to visualize music. Maura McDonnell is a very interesting and she also wrote an essay on visual music, but just an introduction to it. It was a really good and interesting read especially at the stage that I am at. It was good just to see the highlighted artists and art work. You can read the essay from here :http://www.soundingvisual.com/visualmusic/VisualMusicEssay.pdf it was very helpful to find out about artists that I had missed in my research so far and was a good starting ground.
McDonnell also has also been involved with some visual music installations/works. One I particularly like is called "silk chroma" (you can view the videos here : http://vimeo.com/silkchroma ).
"Silk Chroma is a fixed media visual music video that employs a technoscience approach to both colour and timbre experience to create a visual music and electroacoustic composition. Silk Chroma can be presented either as a fixed media piece or as an installation piece using a surround sound presentation. A technoscience approach to colour and timbre phenomena provides a basis for aesthetic design. The technoscience approach to the perceptual aspect of colour and timbre is an innovative, non-standard approach to perceptual phenomena which permits a systematic handling of aesthetic issues; issues which are normally excluded from more scientific/technological considerations."
