I can look at Escher forever, and ever. I most enjoy Day and Night, and have a copy on my wall. Nice paring with the music.
I love this idea. Someone just recently gave a very well-considered criticism of Ex-Temporal concerning our lack of audio elements.
Quite funny that it seems as if you have taken his advice to me =P
The synchronicity that emerges from the heavily pattern laden Escher and the (at least the first song, I have yet to get further into the listening) repetition of Glass's work really meshes brilliantly.
In the first selection, that little creatures seems to be rolling right along to the tempo. Stupendous. Keep up the experimentation!
I love Metamorphosis, but I especially love Chuck Close's portrait of Philip Glass.
Have you ever read Douglas Hofstadter's _Goedel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid_? Through the lens of Lewis Carroll and Zeno's paradox (aka Achilles and the Tortoise) Hofstadter explores and invents a fascinating range of connections among the work of the mathematician, the artist and the composer -- and computer science. Dizzying fun. I recommend it to all!
