Scores, the show that opened last Thursday at Lawrimore Project, is just that: a series of artworks that will become scores for other artists and musicians to perform from. In honor of that exhibition, here's a beautiful animation of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor for this gray morning.

It's like the first time I every really heard that piece in all my years on the planet---chalk one up for synesthesia.

But what's with the really weird ads running below? I know it's a fugue on the organ and everything, but it's one of JSBs more secular pieces.

Walt Disney's animators and Leopold Stokowski did an infinitely better job of interpretating this piece sixty-nine years ago in "Fantasia." The extremely weak and tiresome linear animation provided by Ms. Gray left me cold and uninterested.

Oops! I meant Ms. Graves, not Ms. Gray. My apologies.
