File Under: Synaesthesia
This is a long loading flash movie. I love it because it combines the auditory magic of Coltrane's "Giant Steps" (which is more familiar to you than you know) with the powders of motion graphics. The resulting spell is effective, if a bit see-n-say for my taste.I have been hearing a lot of news lately about people who "suffer" from synaesthesia. That is, who's senses combine in odd and sometimes dibilitating ways. For example a woman who plays the recorder and can literally taste each note. Or a man who does math in his head and the sounds of numbers and their modifiers make harmonies that represent the answers to common arithmetic tasks like adding and multiplying large numbers. Well this video is more of that. Only a little less idiot savant and a little more blue note.
