There's something intensely magical about live-streamed videos from eminent creatives showing how they do their thing. Reeling from this video from Jacob Collier showing how he constructed Moon River: youtube.com/watch?v=9d4-UR. [last time: twitter.com/andy_matuschak]

Two excellent simultaneous trends: the incredible evolution of 3D authoring tools, and the growth of eminent practitioners streaming their work. @edoublea (of Uru, Myst V, Obduction, The Witness) has been doing an astonishing series on worldbuilding youtube.com/watch?v=hvxXCg

One thing that I love about this type of video is just seeing, very directly, the intense love these folks have for their craft. (e.g. at 39:53, leading into the final chorus, which he thoughtfully with "the first thing you need to know about this chord is that it doesn't exist")

Also the wonkery. I love high-end creative wonkery. e.g. at 43:23, a nice mini-lecture on just temperament ("the piano is a lie!"), in which he offhandedly sings (45:40) the pitches corresponding to equal, just, and Pythagorean tunings of the same interval. (?!!)
