There really are no words to describe how wonderful this is to me. It’s beyond satisfying. I laughed out loud in pure delight a number of times and — while sitting by myself in front of the computer — applauded widely at the end.
It helps that they’ve used one of my absolute most favorite pieces of music — the Waltz of the Flowers from Tschaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite ballet. It’s hard not to feel wonderful while listening to this piece of music.
But I think the thing that just makes me want to cry cause I love it so much is the visual representation of the rhythmic precision. This guy gets it! And because he does, it resonates with me and makes something in me feel validated on a very deep and subtle level.
I especially love the moment of rhythmic perfection with the orange ball (start here at 2:33 and be ready for it!)
And the twelve seconds starting at 0:40 (and lasting until about 0:52) make the flutist in me very happy. Someone explained it quite well in the video comments: “I also like how you kept the flute mordents (twiddly bits like at 0:43!) with the circular magnets.”
The creator, DoodleChaos, has a number of fascinating videos like this that I look forward to sharing in future. In the meantime, I dare you to watch this and not smile. 😂
