This is a natural way that I express music so I thought I should capture it, visualising my response to the songs. Here I am communicating an expressions of the multi-sensory experience that music creates, there, at that time at that moment.

I decided to listen to the music through headphones so that my expressed rhythms are what can be heard, showing that I am in my own music bubble. It also means that I can manipulate this video by adding the actual music behind or take the tap rhythms out.

These videos can now be primary resources to explore. I can manipulate the videos to create a music video etc but I can also use the rhythms and the body language to begin trying to visualise rhythm and sound.

The videos are odd to watch as there is no music behind.
