The Musical Roller Coaster

Via Virtual Republic:

Visualization of the 1st violin of the 2nd symphony, 4th movement by Ferdinand Ries in the shape of a roller coaster. The camera starts by showing a close-up of the score, then focuses on the notes of the first violin turning the staves into the winding rail tracks of the rollercoaster. The notes and bars were exactly synchronized with the progression in the animation so that the typical movements of a rollercoaster ride match the dramatic composition of the music.

Created for the Zurich Chamber Orchestra.

Run Time: 1:00
