Bucephalus buoncing ball track

I have recently been introduced to Aphex Twin's work, and have become very interested in what they are able to create. I find it hard to label it a type of music, i tend to think of it as more of an expression of movement, relying on the imagination to simulate the expression.
originally this track is approximately six minutes long, so i have edited it into segments which i think are most interesting and stand out the most.

The track impersonates a bouncing movement, which has been edited to give it a certain groove which gradually develops into the tempo of the song.
Going way back to the beginning of the first year of my course, i remember watching a presentation which really changed my perception on multimedia. We were shown a sound track featuring a piano.

We were told to observe the piano piece on a visual level, for example, picking out the positive and negative space in the audio. I found it a refreshing way to perceive an audio track, and is a real test of your mental flexibility. As corny as it sounds - let your imagination drive!
