"Metamorphosis" is part of "Elusive Symmetries", a live multimedia show combining music, video and dance, performed by Eleanor Turner (harp) and Alan Thomas (guitar) with real-time computer processing.
Like the Escher image that inspired it, "Metamorphosis" is a palindromic piece in which all the musical elements are in a state of constant transformation: drum beats merge in and out of each other, guitar and harp are transformed by the computer into synthesisers, harmonies are smeared together, guitar tremolando becomes the buzzing of bees which turn into waves that morph into two quotations from Saint Saens' Carnival of the Animals: The Aquarium and The Swan (in homage to Escher's print Sky and Water).

I would like to have the video as a constant loop for background for Zoom meetings during this COVID thing. We have a lot of meetings and instead of video of waves on the beach, I'd love to have animation of figures endlessly walking up and down a tower, water falling in an endless loop from a tower, or metamorphosis looping and changing endlessly.

Somehow it lacks something the Viennese Waltz has, ... but I like combo of harp and clicky techy stuff...... Visuals too dull and not as crisp as in Escher's art generally, to enjoy much. And the speed seems wrong. But in spite of this chaos, Escher's order begins to dominate. Might make good background while students are in small group discussions of Construction Ethics........
