Giant Steps, visually translated. What Michal Levy sees when he listens to Coltrane's work. Well, I just think it's purty.

  • And, of course, you can't forget this previous Giant Steps fpp.
  • That first one puts me in mind of those feature length all-music movies (Fantasia, Koyaanisqatsi, The Wall) and makes me wish I could see one in theaters now.
  • I think it's beautiful. I think it's a perfect visual interpretation of a classic Jazz solo; almost like what you'd show someone who'd been deaf from birth to explain the appeal of a masterfully-done Jazz solo.
  • nifty. gracias.
  • Very nice. I often don't like abstract representations of music--the Bach segment in Fantasia left me cold, for example--but this one works beautifully, for reasons I can't quite put my fingers on.
  • Thank you for sharing that! It is one of my favorite Coltrane pieces and it was wonderful to see a visual expression of it.
  • I was half expecting some representation of aural-visual synaesthesia, and in a way it is such a presentation. It gives some insight into how Mr. Levy thinks, by showing how he maps the music to his own medium of expression. Most excellent post. )))!
  • Awesome. Of course you monkeys rember johncoltrane.com -- a good source of information and samples.
  • Shweet! Nice use of Flash.
  • wow. that makes me happy. thanks.
