This video gives me an illusion of what music might look like if it could be viewed through the powerful zoom of a microscope; I perceive many bass and treble symbols throughout these photos. The music is beautiful. You surprised me when you took a piece which began like a simple Jim Brickman composition in a more serious direction, with effective counter from the bass. To me, it sounds as if a serious musical conversation is going on between piano and bass.
