Chopin - Nocturne op.9 No.2

Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, No. 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night one year before dying.
Chopin composed his popular Nocturne when he was about twenty.
it does not matter if you think that it is too late for you or that you still have a lot of time...you have to decide whether you are Chopin or van Gogh.

The idea behind these videos is coming from a research published by the Psychology Department of Berkeley University studying the relation between colors, emotions and how external stimuli are impacting decision making.

The study results demonstrate a strong correlation between faster music in minor tone and the choice from participants of colors from that were saturated, yellower and lighter whereas a slower and minor music produced the opposite pattern (choice of desaturated, darker and bluer colors).

Based on these findings, we wanted to create synesthesia in our videos and trigger more intense and long-lasting emotions in our viewers, get higher audience retention and interaction. We decided to do that by associating drawings from the major painters that were following the scientific findings of this research.
The choice of these paintings and the consecutive association with the music is also based on an accurate work that requires significant time and energy.

The analysis of the melodies returned to us a lot of information on how the painting should have been made. We needed a simple blue pattern but with an intrinsic meaning. Something that people could watch for a while without really understand it.

By creating this video I tried to do only one thing which turned to be the most difficult one: make you feel an emotional synesthesia.
When hearing the melody, don't you feel that everything is...blue? aren’t you lost in the sky? is your mind going over? It’s not for no reason.
it is not only an image, it is not only a melody. It is a trip.
You don't feel bored. Its your mind using the notes and the colors to create your own experience.

Most of the videos online with only one image are only music, but not this.

The research behind the perfect combination is the key for the unconscious.

Chopin didn't even copyright strike this video, what a legend

[KatsWind]

I’m 70 now, and have created several, if not hundreds of paintings and sculptures while listening to this particular Chopin piece, since I was 17 years old. It still mesmerizes me. ❤

I heard this song at work when everything was in chaos, absolutely everything was going wrong and our boss was fighting madly with the team. It was the best experience of my life.

Seeing so many recent comments makes me so happy.

I am Polish 🇵🇱. This composition reminds me of the moments when I was weak and vulnerable. Now, I am a more experienced and knowledgeable person with each passing year. My past was not particularly colorful, but this classical music is comforting and brings to mind how my great-great-grandparents struggled before 1945 and how my country has evolved from a commune to a modern nation. This music is my medicine.

Fun fact: For those who are wondering why is Chopin's music connected with Van Gogh's paintings it is because they were both born in the romantic era.

Somewhere, someone is listening to this at the same time.

My friend used to play this music all the time and look at the stary night picture, I always used to ask him why he does that ?,
he always used to say that Vincent Van Gogh and his life are somewhat similar in cases, i didn't realized at that time what he meant by that, he also said that this music hits hard when you know about Van Gogh's life, now that he's gone and I learned about Van Gogh's life, I know why he said that,
Rest in peace Ron
I still listen to this in his memory 💔

[annemarie]

This piece makes you want to tell your racing mind to just "shut up" and listen... ❤

[SC-jlsv]

I remember when this dropped back in 1832, was a real banger.

[sebastianveri]

"Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin never died . They simply became music"

[JMAC]

Such music is an escape from the world we live in... isn't it?

[StFrancis]

[sunglasses_pickle]

Imagine yourself walking around in midnight without noise and people, peacefully looking at the night sky filled with billions of stars. Such a blissful feeling to appreciate the night.

[jangjinani]
