Hi, I am a newbie to this forum and came to it by googling 'Unravelling Bolero' which is a work of art by Anne Adams, as reported in New Scientist
"Boléro: 'Beautiful symptom of a terrible disease'

SOME paintings are meant to be appreciated in silence. Not this one. Called Unravelling Boléro, it is a bar-by-bar representation of Maurice Ravel's iconic orchestral piece Boléro, created by the Canadian artist Anne Adams. It also happens to provide an intriguing window into the creative mind.
After Adams had completed the piece in 1994, it emerged that she was suffering from the neurodegenerative condition known as primary progressive aphasia. The disease later robbed Adams of speech, and eventually took her life. In its early stages, however, it seemed to unleash a flowering of neural development in a brain area that integrates information from different senses. Unravelling Boléro may be a beautiful symptom of a terrible disease, or so say a group of neurologists led by William Seeley and Bruce Miller of the University of California, San Francisco. ...."
Ravel is also thought to have had the same disease!
I couldn't send an image of Adams' picture, sorry, but you can see it in the New Scientist mag.
My question is has anyone produced a video clip that combines Adams picture with Ravel's Bolero? If so I would love to see it.
