Artist Alan Warburton created this divine visual representation of Johanne Sebastien Bach's The Well Tempered Clavier using thousands of fluorescent lights in both a gallery space and the parking garage next to it. Each light is illuminated as the music progresses, and each bulb's shape corresponds to the length and pitch of each note. The Prelude is played out in the gallery space; the clean, simplistic music matches the clean, simplistic aesthetic of the gallery space. The Fugue in C Major plays out across the parking garage, and the more complex and deep melodic patterns are mirrored by the depth and complexity of the garage.

What do you think of Warburton's installation? Does is do a good job of visualizing J.S. Bach's music? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
