I understand (also from Judy) that The Wiggles put it in their contract for sign language interpreters that their interpreters must wiggle to the music...but that is very unusual.

As to the stuff on computers today, it seems to be a combination of computer- or pre-generated effects/images that the imaging program has canned regardless of the album/song playing, combined with something like an oscilliscope, connected to volume only, from what I've seen. Though I can't claim to have seen everything out there (at least I hope I can't).
