George Cosimo created this amazing mix, playing Amira Willighagen in reverse and adding a backbeat. The result is exceedingly odd, very haunting, and somehow, amazingly, still extremely beautiful! Wow!
Another neat effect George added is the image very slowly transitions from black and white to color over the duration of the song.
The recording he used was of Nella Fantasia from her first album, recorded in England when she was 9 years old.

The video has symbolic meaning for me. As I've said, these young geniuses are leading us backward to the beginning, to a place where there was color and love — from the 20th century that was filled with dissonance and agitation, and where cynicism was admired as virtue. See this speech by Alma Deutscher.
