Opening on a red-lit living room tableau of sleek tranquility, Rohan Blair-Mangat’s visual storytelling plays with space and sound to follow along with our sanguine hero’s quest to discover new music within Apple Music’s Classical app. The familiar keystrokes of the Apple keypad and a sweeping transition emanating from the iPhone screen whisk us into the world of Classical, an elegant concert hall. Our eyes catch on the smattering of crimson details that nod to the red app icon and dance upon the white stage that glows with Apple store minimalism. Pianist Alice Sara Ott begins Beethoven’s Op. 1 just as our app-navigator, aided by the precise search feature, would have clicked the song. The concert’s fantasia of scarlet light swells and sinks with the music, blooming as Ott is joined by our hero’s newest search, conductor Karina Canellakis. The grand finale erupts gloriously when our musical explorer turns on spatial audio. We are presented with this grand explosion of soundscape just before the story zooms out to the serene parlor of our listening Odysseus, face painted in red lamplight as he lays on the couch.
