How it feels

This short film is an animated visual interpretation of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. It uses abstract shapes and patterns that move with the music, creating a sensory experience rather than telling a story.

What happens

Toccata et fugue en ré mineur est un court métrage d'animation américain réalisé par Walt Disney Productions comme une séquence de Fantasia (1940) basée sur la Toccata et fugue en ré mineur de Jean-Sébastien Bach. L'animation consiste en des dessins animés abstraits mélangeant ciel et figures géométriques, inspirés du travail de l'artiste abstrait allemand Oskar Fischinger. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
