Canon

This video is a piece of pure visual music a synchronous visual and musical canon Each musical phrase corresponds to a visual movement in this case a filling of the visual plane with a color The color fields are flat corresponding to an unadorned melody and the animated transitions give a visual form to the musical form The animation is offset in time and composited atop itself to create a visual analog to a musical canon Each visual layer fills the plane just as each musical tone of each voice is heard Harmony of counterpoint is achieved visually with these overlapping layers
