A deeper understanding of art emerges when we feel music with multiple senses. I first conceived of this in 2015 for a Seattle bird-themed concert. My goal was to create a visual duet to harmonize with the music, leaving room for the music and performers to spark the audience's imagination. Thus, I intentionally avoided fast paced visuals that would hog attention.
I love Lark Ascending for silent wind and skies created around the soaring lark song. The music is definitely complete on its own, and I have no wish to rob its glory. Thus transitions are celestially slow, so that we may delve deeper into our own world-building, as we notice the infinitesimal beauty within each moment.
This second version adds complexities, layers, and motion to the 1st version, which was a simple slide deck with transitions optimized for adjusting to live performers ( • Lark Ascending - Visua... ). This version would still be better with live performers as visual elements.
