A phrase came to my mind when I was walking through Vienna last year, a city that shines at the end of the century, has now been revived in Tokyo.
It's a speedy and chilling romanticism.
Although it's in a 6-beat time signature based on swing jazz, the essence of this song is waltz.
It becomes my specialty(?) austere fugue in the middle section, but no one can withstand my passion in the last section!

This song title is Vienna, named after the capital city of Austria.
I only have indirect knowledge of this place through various media, and I couldn't find anything around me to use as movie materials, so I remember discussing with dj TAKA about what to do.
Since the place's name was used as the title, I thought I could spell it on suitable scenery, but when I carefully listened, the movements were from the inner mind instead of scenery, so I thought of the idea to show the changing expressions of the mind, such as "modulations" and "tempo", and replaced mind with "water", which I just tried to match the movements with this song in an abstract form by processing it various times.
This is an ambitious video which I quite love, and revealed a new frontier from its expressions.
I hope you'll enjoy playing it, as if you lost yourself to the city's sounds and lights.
