Giant Steps - A Music Animated short film (2:15 minutes) to the masterpiece of John Coltrane.

When I listen to music I see colors and shapes and when I watch visual art I hear sounds.
I wanted to express my sensing of shapes, colors and music in this short animation.

I chose a Jazz piece, which I’ve known for many years of saxophone playing: “Giant Steps” by John Coltrane.
In this album recorded 1959, Coltrane made a major break through in the history of Jazz music. It was the first
time that music was based on symmetrical patterns, which stemmed from a mathematical division of the musical scale.

To me, the structural approach of Coltrane to music is associated with architectural approach. The musical theme
defines a space and the musical improvisation is like someone drifting in that imaginary space. {More…}
