Much more interesting (IMHO) is the Giant Steps animation by Michal Levi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh6WTAHKYTc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh6WTAHKY

It perfectly shows the structure of the music. The later music video One (set to music of Jason Lindner) is also beautiful:

- bsaul 10y agoDon't understand the downvote. The first video may seem arbitrary to people not familiar with jazz theory but it's a really good representation of the structure of one of clotrane's most emblematic song. Thanks for sharing !
- randy909 10y agoThe downvote wasn't me but I'll agree that this doesn't seem much more related to the music than any visual synced to the tempo. Coltrane's drawing captures a system that could be used by other musicians to create new musical ideas or theories. They're very different things so the video seems off-topic to me.
- meggar 10y agoI still haven't figured out how to play over Giant Steps changes, although shredding through augmented scales has about a 50% success rate.
- InitialLastName 10y agoThe fun thing about Giant Steps is that if you hold any note for long enough, eventually it will resolve correctly.
- cbennett 10y agoThats insanely beautiful. Thank you for sharing!! I have a mild case of synesthesia and this is one of the closest things I have seen/heard (:) ) that comes close-ish to capturing how I see/feel when I experience great music. Of course, I was not surprised to see the creator of the video list a similar motivation in his caption for the upload.
