This Reminded Me Of Fantasia,

where abstract moving shapes were put to music,


 or maybe the other way around, the film Fantasia was released in 1940,

but in this film by Australian artist Andy Thomas instead of using music he interprets birds’ trills, squawks, and coos through an animated series of digital sculptures, an extension of a previous project, “Visual Sounds of the Amazon 2” is an abstract rendering composed of bursting dots, billowing fog, and flashes of amorphous forms that correspond to the avian sounds,

the artist ascribes “Visual Sounds of the Amazon 2” a more urgent context, as well. “This series is dedicated to the people of Brazil and the ecosystem of one of the world’s most amazing forests. The Amazon is known as the lungs of the world and is under constant and ongoing threats of deforestation,” he writes in a statement about the animated project, you can more of Thomas’s visual explorations on Instagram and Vimeo, and check out the sprawling digital creations he has available as prints in his shop, what a fabulous cacophony of sounds and moving images.
