In another recent video ("This Composer is Writing Music in Real Time, and We Can't Look Away"), visitors can watch as composer Nejc Kuhar writes the musical notation for one of his compositions while, at the same time, listening to the composition. This video has been sped up so that Kuhar's notation is it is synchronized with the music. Another recent addition to this collection is a mesmerizing animated video of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" courtesy of YouTube artist Doodle Chaos.
