Bach canon played as a moebius strip
This video of Canon 1 à 2 from J. S. Bach's Musical Offering (1747) being turned into a Moebius strip, then played in two directions at the same time would have been good to watch and listen.

Lyrics from Nina Simone
Consummation, a beautiful love song based on a Bachian figure, reveals the tenderness of Nina's soul.
Written and performed by Nina Simone, 1967
And now we are one
Let my soul rest in peace
At last it is done
My soul has been released
For thousands of years
My soul has roamed the earth
In search for you
So that someday I could give birth
To know joy, joy, joy, joy
Joy and peace is mine
Peace divine
And now we give thanks
Give thanks for each other
At peace forever
For it is done
