Cool animation of 'Trane's Giant Steps

| | Comments (0)

Tim Bray points out this very cool abstract animation set to Coltrane's Giant Steps. It's by Michael Levy, a young Israeli designer who is also a saxophonist.

Tim says Watching it, I feel like someone installed a window in the side of Coltrane’s head and I’m looking in.

I'm not sure I agree with that, (I always think of Giant Steps as one of a a number of challenges Coltrane set up for himself and the rest of jazz - to try to find meaningful pathways through very tenuously related sets of chord changes, which he succeeds at brilliantly of course - I myself have never managed to do more than just get through it), but it is very worth watching.
