here's a cool visualization of one of the most wonderful songs ever written: claire de lune from claude debussy's suite bergamasque. while it's a mesmerizing accompaniment to the beautiful music, somehow it doesnt represent what i intuitively feel when playing the piece. i find that the visuals are upside-down, because i experience the high pitched keys to be on the right, which should be on the bottom of the screen. but i imagine it might be awkward for the lowest of the horizontal lines to represent the highest notes. anyway... enjoy!

Hablas español, eres astrónoma y ¡tocas el piano! Wonderful!
I had no idea you played. I used to play Debussey back in the day, thought not as well as you!
Didn't knew that our expert astronomer is a musician as well :D
what instrument you play ?
Excuse my Battlestar-ese, but that was frakin fantastic =)
Also, it's great to see more women not only getting involved in physics and astronomy but sharing that knowledge at large. Congrats on your PhD! Hope to get there one day myself =)
