Nils Frahm

The above link is to a music video by Nils Frahm, which in my opinion is both visually and orally a good example of abstract. The monochrome rain-like drops come down at first in tiny impressions but eventually in dramatic, bold washes that mark the building progression of the song. It reminds me of painting--specifically watercolors--the way the fluid continually falls and leaves marks yet is always added to and changed, it's constant yet ephemeral, simple yet profound. It's like a painting in motion.
