Data Visualization of Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 - Prelude
If you have about a minute and earphones, here's a really cool HTML5 website you ought to visit:
For the non-classical-musically minded, this is what the Naturalist guy in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World was playing on his cello when they made it to the Galapagos Island.
There are a couple of cool things going on here:
- I can play this piece on the viola. I serenaded 3 girls at university with this piece.
- It's written in HTML5 - the future of web apps.
- It takes music played on 4 strings and 2 bow strokes and spreads it out to 8 strings and 4 points on rotating balls... taking a few complex processes and making it simple to visualize.
So basically, it combines a few personal and professional ideas and mashes it into something cool.
