Star Wars and Harry Potter Themes with Line Rider

John Williams - Star Wars Theme and Harry Potter Theme


John Williams was born in New York in 1932.  He is an American composer who composed music for more than a hundred films.  Now that's a lot!  His father was a musician and he grew up surrounded by music and learning music.  Later, he studied music on his own and worked as a musician in different places.  John Williams became famous for composing the music for the Star Wars movies.  If you have ever seen a Star Wars movie you have heard his music.

Here is something someone thought of to visually show the music while it's playing, it is called, "Line Rider", it is a kind of visual map to go along with the music.  This took four months to create to sync with the music perfectly.  That's a long time to work on a project that lasts for about 3 to 4 minutes long.  But I think the end result is worthwhile.  

Enjoy listening to and watching Line Rider play the Star Wars theme by John Williams.
