Every few months Animusic returns from the depths and it calms something in me

There's something deeply satisfying about how they unfold, perform their number, and just fold back up and disappear with no one watching. Like they aren't playing for an audience, they're playing just to play.

My favorite part about the animations are how the percussive instruments have that worn spot where it hits… as if these songs have been played a thousand times. ahhh, Animusic will always be so close to my heart.

i love the detail around the 2 minute mark where the little stoppers move beneath the strings to make the notes less sustained

just turned 14 today, my father has been playing this for me since, i guess my first three years of life? He played it for me today and now i remembered how amazing the song and animation is, and good job making the quality so high tier, it's good to see that animusic is still going. edit jan 11 2023 i cant get over the song. ===================== edit: october 7th, 2023. still here, still listening, this has gotten me through a lot.

This is my all time favorite by Animusic. Sounds so noble and purpose-driven and free and solemn and nostalgic at the beginning... then you get the modern, treacherous funky section.... but that faithful old melody comes back to fight it off.... things get really intense... and in the end, the key change and tubular bells represent victory for tradition and growth for the present!

ik im a year late, but i just gotta say. that intro part has the same vibes as like. an old man sitting on his house patio at night gently rocking in his rocking chair, just fiddling with his old guitar, slowly getting more and more into the music as he contemplates his life, staring up at the stars, feeling the cool night's air. just strumming away and playing what his heart feels is right.

If you pay attention, when the camera turns around, the cymbals actually keep the same stereo placement, so while they are panned like they are shown in the video, the panning doesn't actually follow the camera. Good ear though for noticing the panning in the first place!

The first set to fall in and play is like a harpsichord, where the strings are plucked by the pick/plectrum. The second set is like a piano where the string are hammered. The third set seems to have both a plectrum AND a hammer. Not quite sure if any real instruments ever were made with that combination. But fun. The FOURTH melodic set is, of course, like a marimba or xylophone. Then in drops the chimes. And just after that, they all withdraw. Lots of fun.

Back in my days, this used to be a thing...

Thanks for uploading this treasure! I was 14 when my dad got the family a TRS-80 Color Computer for Christmas of 1980. Computer was a generous name for that device. 16KB yes Kilobytes of RAM, no function keys, a cassette recorder for storage, and it ran Microsoft BASIC which was one step above machine language. When I got into doing animation I had things like this in my mind but with that system I had a maximum of 8 pages to use on the lowest resolution with a few colors. Programming music wasn’t just transcribing notes. It was 8-bit audio and you had to put in how the pitch, duration, octave, all kinds of stuff. When I first saw Animusic on PBS years ago it was like seeing everything I always wanted to do but never could.

Invisible amusetions. With a conductor only in spirit we know. A simple beginning threaded with chorus not lent on trance no genre refined fresh modifications spawn dar tempo arye. Blessings to this ingenious wiz doctor

I always wished they had boxed this tech. The Animusic system was designed to let you upload a MIDI file and the computer would figure out how to animate the "instrument". So it was more than just a "music video". They could rewrite the music and the system could re-animate it. I wish they could have created a "dumbed down" consumer version of this software that would let you compose your own music and watch the instrument play it. This was always my favorite instrument and I would love to play around writing songs for it.

I could listen and watch these productions all day 🙂

This is the first Animusic video I ever saw and it is still my favorite of all. 😍🤩💙

Hey, no one commenting about the complex mechanism? Everybody commenting about the music quality (even about the microphones!), but none about the mechanism. Music like this a good musician can produce even better (and without worrying about microphones!). Here, the merit is of the instrument creator. The instrument and the programmer made an amazing job!
