I came across this video when a friend of mine posted it to her Facebook page, and I was captivated by the musical strains. Most people do not link music to design, but I believe that Jon Schmidt has created a beautiful piece of artwork by synthesizing two very different songs. He took separate musical arrangements and combined them seamlessly and harmoniously. What I love about this video is that it captures the enraptured joy that Schmidt and his fellow musician experience as they play the piece. Here are two men who are passionate about art. They are creating an experience, and their passion pulsates in time to the rhythmic beat.
