Baroque.me: J.S. Bach - Cello Suite No. 1 - Prelude from Alexander Chen on Vimeo.
baroque.me visualizes the first Prelude from Bach's Cello Suites. Using the math behind string length and pitch, it came from a simple idea: what if all the notes were drawn as strings? Instead of a stream of classical notation on a page, this interactive project highlights the music's underlying structure and subtle shifts.

This is so lovely and shows really how simple music can be expressed in such an easy way. And yet, music can be so complicated at the same time. I really enjoyed seeing how the strings changed length as the notes changed. What a wonderful way to express sounds in a visual manner.
