The Clockwork Harpsichord Video

Working through some old tunes, making new videos for them. Today I've made a video for The Clockwork Harpsichord. I have struggled with this one for a few years as I had a clear vision of a chessboard and a toy clockwork piano, which I haven't got!

In the end today's video took only a few hours, and perhaps relates the music more closely to its fundamental concept of mathematics and the universe, as well as the artwork of the pi album. It simply uses rotating, glowing rings which appear with each note and the result is very pretty. I've updated Argus again a little, to v1.06. The software is getting easier to use, and for things like this, very 'digital' work, it is ideal.
