"Master the instrument, master the music, then forget all that shit and play." - Charlie Parker

I was in Chicago last week for a conference and one of the speakers was Alex Chen, with Google Creative Labs. He shared with us a couple of his side projects. Each one was inspiring, but this one I keep watching over and over. I think it's beautiful and genius and somehow simple...in a lovely way.

"This is a little experiment with a viola and Glass. I thought is would be fun to create a song layering short video loops. So I spent the afternoon improvising melodies, filming it on Google Glass, then I pieced it all together into a small orchestra." - Alex Chen

So check out the video. And then check out Alex's other side projects. He is one of the guys responsible for the Les Paul Goggle Doodle, which is also fantastic.
