This. Is. Superb! Love the details you have put into this animation, it goes to show loads of work goes into rendering things like this depending on the equipment used. For something so pristine and keeps that Animusic vibe going is what really makes it noticeable! I really love the touch you did at the 2:20 mark where the lasers do a little dance until they are needed again. I am sure that part was animated manually.

I had this idea when I was younger that the Animusic lore was that humanity merged with sentient machines in the far future and some ragtag groups formed music orchestral hiveminds to cry out their musical imaginations and were responsible for humanities cries for help in a empty abyss of space and empty worlds kinda like today with radio (albeit not as extreme as help cries). If this was a "canon" Animusic music video, this would certainly be the genesis of Animusic because A it looks like a Alpha version of Harmonic Voltage's stage and B there are humans in the background operating it. All's to say that this was a damn good Fanimusic video, one of the best on KZread I've seen so far, amazing stuff.

Epic. Now we need half life 3.

The creators of animusic have to see this. This is awesome. I love the bassline all the way through.

Hey i just realized this one looks like there's a person behind all this, with the car and small room behind it all

yeah this feels like some music students teamed up with the robotics department and made this. probably the same degree program as U of Iowa's "Farm Machine" lol

There are people. Here: 5:19 It's hard to see because they're hidden in the cars shadow.

listening to this has me drowning in nostalgia,if animusic saw this,they'd be just as proud of you as i am,and if stacked up,my proudness would circle around our universe 80 times,and if i saw this in real life,i would have literally went over and just hugged the whole thing.Also good job!

this was really well done. when the red strobes shot up the center i got the biggest nostalgia blast. animusic always loved to hide instruments in plain sight

I absolutely loved this! While I do have my criticisms towards it being a little too long and too repetitive, I hope these criticisms are used to build off of in your next project whenever that may be. If this is your first project, it is insanely impressive. Twice during this, the song exploded with a shocking and wonderful addition that left me amazed. I hope to see more from you in the future!

this song is stuck in my head forever now

This video deserves more attention

wow this is awesome!!! i love the lasers doing little dances when they aren't playing 😂 my favorites have to be the yellow guys and the tiny red ones on the bass. so fun!

Other things to note is (as far as I can tell) the container, with all the wiring and stuff, the futuristic car with a laptop on its hood, two people (one male and one female from what I made out), who are both holding screens All in all pretty good detail

@@thegrandestbazaar4800 Yeah, got some details in there. The container is a generator (which is why there are a ton of cables going to it). Also, the people (both dudes btw) are supposed to be the ones filming things with drones, which actually follow the two cameras I used for the animation (I think there are a few shots where you can see them flying around, but they're small and got caught up in the denoiser a bit). The laptop is supposed to be what's actually controlling the entire setup, and the car is, well, a car (which I've used in quite a lot of places now that I think about it). Fun fact, I initially intended to have an opening to the animation with the generator being turned on and the lights doing a quick test lightup, although I scrapped that idea due to being a bit out of what I felt I could do (especially sound-wise).

Cool to hear from the guy who made this masterpiece and welp I got close in some aspects I guess, but being on a phone didn't help with KZread's compression but that's cool nonetheless I really hope you make more like this as I've enjoyed many of the musics you've made and not many people pay attention to detail like you did with this (dammit I'm gonna have to analyse this frame by frame to see these secrets), all in all extremely good and a favourite of the litteral thousands of videos I've watched

​​@@Trackmaniadude actually here's a thought, I will happily wait until you release your original (planned) version of this! So few people revisit stuff and even if it's just once it would be super cool, if not I'll enjoy your regular uploads until they stop, but I hope not!

This captures the spirit of Animusic-style animation so perfectly. The way the instruments visualize pulsing with the beat and the dances the green lasers do when they're idle are fantastic.

Nice work! I dig the Animusic inspiration, really cool song as well

Love the visuals, love the song, the fun chromatic motions, the surprise at 4:10, the tasty slides, the instrumentation, the instrument designs, everything here is awesome! One of the best looking and sounding Animusic-style animations of the year so far, right up there with Ambient Glow. Amazing work dude!

This is phenomenal

I like the details that make this look like its some event on a beach. A generator, a mess of cables, a laptop thats probably doing all the actual work, and the 2 guys hiding behind the truck thinking they've mastered the art of how not to be seen.

I can definitely vibe to this Very good Edit: I just listened to this for a whole idea and it may be one of the best peices of what is essentially animusic I've ever listened to This is getting saved to epicness

im down for more animusic style stuff

sound like a genesis game lol. love it :P

this is amazing.

Trackmaniadude is a smart strip of bacon 😎🤳

Nice job!

i would love a tutorial on how to do this

amazing

This kinda reminds me of the song that plays in the intro of Kingdom hearts 2.

i just keep coming back to this! question did you intend this to sound like a dual ym2612 with SN76489 chip tune? if so mixing chiptune style music with animusic style animation was brilliant! all though i wish we has a uncompressed version of this since youtube kills the quality. astounding job on this!

@@Trackmaniadude on cool! this looks much better! i was actually going to try running this though my frame interpolation software and ai upscaler to get 60fps 4k and send it back to you. ive already done some tests using the youtube version and it looks really good with minimal to no artifacting. i have a threadripper and 3080 ti so the time wouldnt take long to do this. but the compression from youtube was cutting the quality so i thank you for send this and im sure other will love it too!

Dude my eardrums😂 By the way very cool

This is absolutely awesome, love how you use anticipation and the visuals and music match up so perfectly together! If I may ask what was your process for creating this? It's so cool! Thanks again :)

First thing was to make the song (although it was done without intention of animation, I came up with the idea after). Exported a midi of the song, and then had to figure out how to map that to animation. Lots of messing around with Python and Animation Nodes (plugin for Blender, basically lets you do procedural animation), as well as a lot of modelling and material making (can't have a video without a thing to take a video of!). Then of course I had to animate the non procedural things (mostly just cameras, which I do have some experience with, because of Trackmania of all things), and finally render the whole thing (which, iirc, took around two weeks (ok, one week, but things broke early on and I failed to notice and had to rerender it)).

@@Trackmaniadude I honestly would have never been able to tell, it translated from song to video so well! I actually wanted to ask as to the duration of this project, as I'm actually hoping to make a video like this for my senior thesis show! While I know the process of modeling and material making/animation, I'm honestly completely new to coding procedural animation and music creation, and was wondering how did you learn the process to create this? How did the steps come about over time during your creation? Heh, I could have never guessed you used Trackmania based on your name ;)! But the movements are natural and I did really love how you showcased everything (and the drones)! The details really were cool! Thanks again for your help!

@@garrettclaytonmoore It took the better part of a semester to create. (Although it was more on and off work, can take a bit to get to get myself moving again after I complete a goal). The whole music process has been going for years (six or so at the moment), and that's a bit harder to explain. As for the animation, Animation Nodes makes it similar to material making, with the main parts being a MIDI input, some nodes to process the MIDI, custom scripting to process the music data further (although that's not strictly necessary, I just found the tools that come with AN to not be quite what I need), and then a bunch of output nodes to object transforms. For example, the lasers get note on/off and pitch and map that to a custom value (read by the material for transparency), and the laser's rotation, respectively. And a lot of trial and error since this was the first time I've done anything of this scale lol. Definitely mess around and try things!
