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.
