2nd Response Exercise

        The Barbel Newbauer did not correlate with its music for as far as phrasing was concerned. They did share a similar style though. The piano was joyful, spirited and light while the animations featured several circles of various sizes spinning or freewheeling. Aside from the style, the music and the animation operate independently of each other. The animation was bright and vibrant and the circular theme went so far as to repeat certain animations and movements. While the music is independent of the animation in the Barbel piece, the St. Louise video corresponded and reacted to the music. The pace and urgency that the patterns appeared on screen depended fully on the rhythms from the bass. The style of the visuals would also shift with the song to distinguish from verse and chorus.
