To see how the music and animation match up, wait for the first slice of pie to appear and hit play right away.

"Rose Red" is an English folk song sung in a round (like "Row, Row, Row Yer Boat"). In this animation, the rings represent the four voices. I created it for my talk at the Become Become Artist Residency in Sardinia in 2018. I taught the song to the audience and we sang in time to the animation. I have done the same with other audiences and it seems to bring joy.

I took advantage of the qualities of beads in the Beethoven sonata as well. I assigned shades of blue to every note except the predominant one (the one that sticks out from the rest and makes you cry). That note is represented with 24k gold-coated glass beads. I was evoking the description, "moonlight on water", made by a music critic of the time. The internet said this is how the sonata got its nickname--the Moonlight Sonata.
