Moonlight Sonata

Animated to the rhythms of Eric Satie’s Gnossienne V. The moon and moonlight are the guiding lights of this visual interpretation, and I have kept the backgrounds in soft greens and blues. Only the cosmic tumbler, whose enigma is emphasized by his red colour, breaks this pattern. Satie’s music simplified and refined the imagery, made it the celestial circus I have always dreamed of. “Moonlight Sonata” begins a new phase in my animation. I am finally getting in touch with the real poetry possible here. All works of art seem to come ready-made with their own sets of rules. And in this film only very simple movements were permitted.
