Wow! I clicked through on the new page to check if this was spam to see if I should flag it, and I was awed. It's a fantastic visualization of Bach's Cello Suites. Detailed information at [<a href="http://blog.chenalexander.com/2011/baroque-bach-cello/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.chenalexander.com/2011/baroque-bach-cello/</a>] but best to just click, watch, and listen.<p>Give it a minute to get going before you make any judgment. At first I was dubious, but then it got me. It took me until the second viewing to realize I could interact with it.<p>"Baroque.me visualizes the first Prelude from Bach’s Cello Suites. Using the mathematics behind string length and pitch, it came from a simple idea: what if all the notes were drawn as strings? Instead of a stream of classical notation on a page, this interactive project highlights the music’s underlying structure and subtle shifts."
