Do I Wanna Know? - Arctic Monkeys

This is the music video for the band Arctic Monkeys, using a more obvious form of representing sound:

I really like the use of the line at the start, since it waves and represents the sounds of the instruments into one timeline, using different lengths and speeds to show the beat.

When the backing singers start, two different colours are used. This produces a nice effect, and makes it clearer to viewers which lines are representing who.

At 02:22, four different lines appear, representing four different instruments/sounds within the track. I think it's interesting seeing all the sounds being separated into different lines, then alined next to each other, because you can see how the sounds have been combined into one piece of music.

The fluidity of the changes between the timelines and character animations is really effective in representing the mood of the song.
