all time favorite of your videos, and my second favorite piece of music. i'd love to see you do my first - rachmaninoff's prelude in c sharp minor

@bluexrhapsody81 You'd have to bribe me, I'm afraid.

I bet videos made with this program would get people who don't normally listen to classical to listen to it all the time!

[smalin]

@lakerfan82k3 It appears to have that effect; lots of viewers comment "I never liked classical music until I watched your videos."

Amazing visualization.... The original work is of course awesome but it's intriguing how you put this together....
