Very Cool Visualization of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.



Stephen Malinowski is a programmer and musician who has spent the past 40 years working on a "music animation engine" to help visually represent the structure of pieces of music in a way that makes sense even to those who might not necessarily understand music theory.  The above piece is his latest, a visualization of Igor Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring", which, as it happens, celebrates its 100th anniversary today.
