Beethoven’s 5th Completely Visualized

Hit Play or go to Link.

Here’s a hypnotizingly apt way of visualizing music.  There’s a bunch of these on You Tube, but Beethoven’s 5th is decidedly the best.  If you’re curious as to which instrument is represented by each color bar, well…here you go.

    Did anybody else keep looking for the button to switch it over to notation??

    I kept looking to the bottom of the screen for the “notation” button.

    Reminds me of the old Amiga program Instant Music, you’d compose music that way, IIRC.

    Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is nice to watch this way, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipzR9bhei_o

    That was my second choice, Miss C!

    Kubrick would have found a use for that in a Clockwork Orange, or maybe even in 2001

    Nice… this is pretty much exactly how I sketch out melodies that pop into my head that I don’t want to lose. I have countless scraps of paper in my office that look just like that.
