German visual effects studio virtual republic and communications agency Euro RSCG last year created a hugely enjoyable musical rollercoaster for the Zurich Chamber Orchestra (ZKO).

The movements of the rider – up, down and around & about – mirror the rhythms of the first violin from Symphony No. 2 in C minor by Ferdinand Ries. Virtual Republic have now released a video following the “making of” this beautiful animation.
