whitney music box and FFVII

This is gorgeous, a guy named Jim Bumgardner made a flash animation based off some ideas that the musician John Whitney had about elements in motion. Basically each of the 48 dots move at different speeds around a circle, according to different rulesets, and they make some amazing music. Whenever they pass a certain point on the circle, they emit a tone.

Try listening to prime numbers vs non-primes. Also, if you watch them for long enough, patterns develop and dissolve.

And while I'm on a cool music kick, here's a piano rendition of some of the theme songs from Final Fantasy VII, still my favorite Final Fantasy game of the entire series. Just hearing the songs makes me nostalgic.
