Brilliant.. Nothing short of brilliant

This is a stunning video. Ksenya Simonova takes an inspiring and variety piece of music (Apocalytica – Inquistion Symphony) and combines this with a visual performance of drawing. It is very moving as she displays in a visual medium the emotions of the music.

She uses her fingers and sand.

This is stunning. An excellent example of performance, visual imagery, imagination and emotion. I could see this as an excellent resources for English, the performing arts and music.

Its not limited to alternate or unsigned artists, rather there are commercial artists using this service. These include…
