Watch: Bach in Animation

WORDS Lindi Brownell Meiring VIDEO via Alan Warburton on Vimeo


Commissioned by Sinfini Music and performed by Pierre-Laurent Aimard, this clever animation highlights the complexity of two collections of Bach compositions, namely The Well Tempered Clavier and Twenty-four Preludes and Fugues.

Making use of thousands of separate CGI lights, it took 10 weeks for director and visual artist Alan Warburton and visualisation specialist Matthew Bain to complete the animation.

Give it a watch… and a listen.
