How does music look like

How does music look like? Like musical notes, like dance, like tango, black tango - ragtime, jazz.... Piazzolla's tango, Joplin's ragtime, Ellington's jazz...my shadows. Piazzolla, Joplin and Ellington completed themselves with music, me, i complete myself with shadows. Was their shadow their music? Always changing, and in all-ways adjustable, always moving - tango? Did they loose or find themselves in it? How did it appear to them?
They created a musical image by moving musical notes, me, i try to create the image of music by moving my snapshots. I take one to the dark room and let the light move over it - out comes a new image, similarly as the new tune came out from under their fingers moving across piano, bandoneon and saxophone. My images of shadows seem to me to be the visual images of their musical notes. They would probably hear them as notes that sing tango, ragtime, jazz. If i search for myself in music, i see musical notes as images of shadows, dancing tango. But i would also like to hear them. One must hear tango, not only see it. How can an image be heard? Like a shadow?
