Thats insanely beautiful. Thank you for sharing!!
I have a mild case of synesthesia and this is one of the closest things I have seen/heard (:) ) that comes close-ish to capturing how I see/feel when I experience great music.
Of course, I was not surprised to see the creator of the video list a similar motivation in his caption for the upload.

Don't understand the downvote. The first video may seem arbitrary to people not familiar with jazz theory but it's a really good representation of the structure of one of clotrane's most emblematic song. Thanks for sharing !

The downvote wasn't me but I'll agree that this doesn't seem much more related to the music than any visual synced to the tempo. Coltrane's drawing captures a system that could be used by other musicians to create new musical ideas or theories. They're very different things so the video seems off-topic to me.

I still haven't figured out how to play over Giant Steps changes, although shredding through augmented scales has about a 50% success rate.

The fun thing about Giant Steps is that if you hold any note for long enough, eventually it will resolve correctly.

It perfectly shows the structure of the music. The later music video One (set to music of Jason Lindner) is also beautiful:
