REVIEWS:

Perfect for classroom discussion. It makes music visual and emotional – that’s a rare gift.

I was hypnotized by the color palette and fluidity of the lines. It felt like the visuals were dancing with the music. Honestly, I’d frame some of these shots.

My daughter whispered to me ‘the music is painting pictures!’

This short does what many concert halls fail to do: it makes classical music accessible, visual, emotional. What a gift to Ravel’s legacy.

I liked how the buildings, animals and people moved like instruments.
