Classically-trained pianist and video artist Rousseau makes the most fascinating videos of themself playing very complex classical pieces accompanied by what they refer to as a reactive visualizer. The key-by-key visuals make the music, which I already loved, even more enjoyable. I love being able to see what’s coming and guessing which hand is playing which part (far from an easy task, especially for a non-piano-player like me). Many of the pieces posted are mind-bogglingly complicated and an absolute joy to watch.

I found watching the videos on a large screen with no other distractions (phone, lights, etc.) instantly made me feel calm and engaged. I’ll take calm wherever I can find it these days…
