1. Visualizing Classical Music as a Roller Coaster Ride

    This ingenious promotional video for the Zurich Chamber Orchestra transforms the musical notes played by the first violinist in a symphony by Ferdinand Ries into a roller coaster track in real time. The video was created by the production studio Virtual Republic. On their Vimeo page, they explain, “The notes and bars were exactly synchronised with the progression in the animation so that the typical movements of a rollercoaster ride match the dramatic composition of the music.”

    I needed this so badly right now.

    Wheeeeeeee.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

  4. What π Sounds Like It

    I know this is a little saccharine and a somewhat arbitrary way to impose a transcendent mathematic idea onto the man-made schema of dividing sound… BUT IT’S ALSO ABOUT MUSIC COMPOSITION AND REALLY CUTE AND ADORABLE AND I LOVE IT.

    i’m simultaneously impressed and depressed. 

    this feeling normally means that progress is being made.

    i rarely tolerate nostalgia porn / dying industry journalism but i’ll make an exception for this.
