I heard about it just earlier today when I was watching a Vsause video because he mentioned it and for some reason I thought it sounded familiar yet I don't ever remember hearing about it before. I looked it up and it reminded me of a very specific memory of a certain video that looks very similar to this style that I watched early on in my childhood. So I've basically spent the past 2 or so hours I've been trying to find the videoing my memory (partly while watching this video) and I'm absolutely enthralled while baffled that this isn't more heard of

I know there was never intended to be any sort of deeper lore with Animusic, but the empty nature of the scenes makes my mind go wild. There's not a single indication of organic life or activity, and it's almost unsettling. I can imagine all of these taking place in some sort of futuristic alien planet, where the inhabitants created a variety of visually spectacular musical performances. Some run on pipes, others use electric currents, some use a clockwork of intricate gears, some are played by robots, and some have instruments which are the robots. Regardless of how it was achieved, these shows were always enjoyed by many. But then, one day, the inhabitants all left abruptly. No damage is done to the infrastructure of the planet in their departure, but at the same time no one can deactivate or dismantle any of the technology left behind. So, over and over again, these machines continue to preform. Unaware of the fact that there is no longer an audience to captivate, they continue as they were programmed to do. As memory of the abandoned planet fades, it remains untouched and desolate. On top of a tower, on a pyramid, on a stage, or even in the bowels of a laboratory, the machines preform the same routines for hundreds or thousands of years, unaware that they will never play before living eyes again.

I remember being amazed at just how _good_ Animusic looks on a standard-definition TV. Apparently the creators did some kind of special compositing on the DVDs to achieve this effect, and it's lost if it's played on a computer rather than being directly output to an SDTV from a DVD player. With how far upscaling technology has come, however, I expect it could probably be upscaled pretty well to HD if someone who really knows their stuff made an effort.

Nothing would make me happier than to claim the title as animusic's #1 fan, but I know that some of yall are even more hardcore than me. all I can say is... I'm so glad that this many fans still exist. I love you all and I hope Wayne Lytle's health improves. If not... we might just have to do it ourselves to keep it going.

When you unlock a memory from your childhood that you didn’t think was there 😭

It's so cool to me that I grew up with these. I can definitely see the influence they had on my taste in music and creative vision.

Looking back at these at 24, having grown up with them in my house on DVD when I was elementary-school age, I absolutely understand why I'm into the more weird and complex music that I'm into now.

Future Retro’s been burned into my brain ever since I watched it in our music class when I was 6. I wonder if any of the friends I’m still close to remember this…

What would be amazing is programming an AI that could generate the visual control of this model based on musical input. So basically you sit down at a keyboard begin playing a piece and the 3D model animates in conjunction. You could either input all of the instruments live or recorded and the 3D model AI would animate and supplement any instruments not being supplied.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a video where someone made a sequel to Fiber Bundles with that. Iirc it was a custom plugin for Blender that would allow midi files to judge the animations for objects.

I forget about animusic untill this randomly got stuck in my head and I remember how much I loved it ♥️

Love this.

when i was little i had both first and second animusic DVD and i would just sit and binge watch them all day.

My music teacher back in k-4th would play these videos on vhs tapes i think. Tho i may be misconstrued with my memory... its been over 10 years now. Either way, it'skind of like a fever dream finding this.

As a Zoomer, I'm sad to say that this is some nostalgia that I really missed out on and I hadn't even known this existed until I watched The Science Elf's video on it.

Why does "Acoustic Curves" sound like How it's Made music to me?

Looking back at the blurry memories I had of watching these in elementary, I’m pretty sure Animusic was the reason I started getting into music. I was, and still am, always so fascinated by the work that went into these productions.

Dude I used to love how all the instruments are automatic

When I was in elementary school and watched this, I had no idea that Cathedral Pictures ( 44:46 ) was based on the last 3 movements of Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky. I’ve been to a few performances of the actual piece (and performed an arrangement of it), and this just brings back memories of those concerts and performing it

Love thinking that somewhere in the universe there was a species whose technology, science and innovation was fully dedicated to building huge, massive automated music theaters on top of mountains and hills on different planets, launching at specific time or just when people got close, just for the love of music, the landscape and what is made them feel. And maybe now, this species has been extinct for billions of years only leaving behind those massive artefacts, still up and running.

At 13:56 when drum machine comes I’m over here like man this could not get any better! (My personal favorite) Then when 15:50 comes I’m like ain’t no way!! ITS SO GOOD! 😮

Am I the only one who always thought this was creepy? Even 16 years later, I get an odd feeling from watching this.

I am heartbroken that I just discovered something really awesome after it's time has already passed. But the more I listen to Animusic the more I sense that timeless quality that people will always look back on with fondness.

I love them all, so don't ask me to vote. The second one, is my first time seeing it.. Very sweet....I've never seen fiber bundles either. Very spacey sound. Ok, gyro drums have definitely, out freaked out any of my freaky drum dreams.

This is takes me back to 2nd grade. Harmonic voltage is still just as awesome as I remember it.

Fr, that was always my favorite

im only 13 and this ive been listening too this since i could remember. easily my favorite

This was a MASSIVE inspiration for all of my musical endeavors in life. I remember watching this for the first time when I was very young and I was just completely enthralled by it. Every now and then, the tunes still come to mind. This is truly an underrated masterpiece.

My dad used to play this for me all the time when I was really young instead of traditional movies. I blame this for my love of music

I am so glad I was able to find this, I remember watching this when I was in my music class in elementary school, good times!

so my memories of 3rd grade music class WEREN'T a fever dream!? i can't believe anyone else remembers animusic. pogo sticks and resonant chamber from animusic 2 were always particularly vivid memories

Ah I loved Animusic. My personal favorite is Fiber Bundles.

Fiber bundles was 🙌 the moment✨

I love the harp, the flute, and the chime like sounds, very peacefully settling.

Watched this in music class in 1st grade in 2001. Crazy that I’m 29 watching it again in 2023

Hearing this makes everything better. I own both DVDs, and I have listened to them so much that they've cracked in a few places (they still play though, don't worry)! I cannot tell you how important Animusic was to my childhood and still is to me now. I can always rely on Animusic to make me feel better when things are stressful. Everything about it is perfect, from the beautiful music to the gorgeous yet retro visuals, to the nostalgia it brings... It almost makes me cry (and sometimes has). I hope they do release Animusic 3 someday, but even if they don't, the legacy of Wayne Lytle and David Crognale will always live on.

@@isaiahromero9861 Thank you so much! I wouldn't be surprised if it was Animusic that got me into it as well. It was sort of my musical awakening, and even sparked my early creativity to write my own music! I really should get back to that...

The VHS tapes of these videos were my introduction to music at the age of four and made music seem a lot cooler than it is in reality.

The slow parts of "Pogo Sticks" are to die for

i will always cherish and love animusic. my dad found out about it at one point or another, and i remember when he took me out to get the dvds. i was so young. and now? these pieces of music bring out a feeling of such blissful innocence. whether its joyful, excited, amped up, whatever. it makes me feel like a kid again. takes me back

This was my childhood I remember watching this in my 1st grade music class

I have always loved Animusic, I'm a retired, disabled, 61 year old truck driver and your projects always amazes me, please keep up the great work.

Tato hudba je přesahující hranice představám; je to zhmotnění neskutečného! Geniální, až mimosmyslové... Úžasné už jen v synchronizaci úderů s tóny. Už jen ta myšlenka provedení animace... Nekonečné díky !!

My parents showed me and my sister this when we were young, we thought it was crazy these instruments were playing themselves/ by robots... and back in the day to a kid it looked super real!

I remember I used to try to mimic the songs with drum sticks when I was a kid, I miss those days

Pipe dream was always my favorite. Oh the nostalgia.... oh the depression.

why is animusic still a classic to this day who knew that a music genre that isn't popular but popular enough to survive today's music. animusic started way back during the 90s and became popular during the mid-2000s its insane i still love this music after 8 years since i first heard it... still a perfect classic with no flaws.

this is the only nostalgia that tears me up. idk why this is so special to me and its so hard to show to people nowadays because the animation may look dated and the music may sound dated as well, but it really stands the test of time in my life and is one of the best examples of technology as art i know of

Childhood right here. Probably what got me invested into music as a kid. This was like peeking into the future of music as we finally realize what we are capable of with technology. I wonder if classical musicians would be amazed or disgusted.

Man, it feels great to be coming back to hearing these.
