In preparation for my final year project at Oregon College of Art and Craft, I created a 10-piece visual "song" corresponding to the piece of music mostly responsible for me going to music school.
"Going the Distance," by Bill Conti, is Track 3 on the soundtrack from the movie, Rocky. The song is a fugue, a musical composition that begins with one thematic element then adds instruments that, at times, mimic the theme and build upon it.
Here, I've introduced the theme, built upon it, added further elements, and spun the composision visually according to what is heard.
Follow along with the music by selecting "play" on the sound clip below to see if you can tell when each visual element moves with the song.
