How the web should be
March 4, 2005
Michal Levy reminds us what we love about the web. With Giant Steps, Levy took Coltrane's masterwork and set it to Flash in a beautiful interpretation. Nothing literal, just a stunning representation of what the music made her see. Go take a look at the work for yourself.

- Earlier: KICK! Back
- Next: "I have so much more to offer."

So it's likely "what the music made *her* see".
Great find, though. I feel inspired.
That's great... and, it somehow reminds me of something I might see on Sesame Street.
