Yes, yes, this is an image of entirety of complexity, beauty and magnificence of music. The symbolism of tool shapes is perfect. Color blending of brass instruments is wonderful. Maybe this is the direction for further work. When each note has its own color, so you can see how each chord gets its color mood. That is amazing. Still it is possible to adjust the depth of the color tone according to the scale in which it is played. For example, a violinist playing some notes in a minor scale lower than in the tempered tuning. Then the color is not so cheerful. But it is just stupid detail, probably. P.S. Your work brings joy into our lives.
Wonderful! I don't think any other composer has a dream-like atmosphere like Debussy. And with your visualization Stephen , the overall effect is mesmerizing.
I remember not liking this the first time I heard, but now it obsesses me. The woodwinds are sensuous, how they float above the background. I can almost see the faun.....
I was watching old Twilight Zones when I clicked on this and yeah, that was pretty surreal....the music, the scenes of the show all blending together. Odd late night moment. Thank You
Muchas Gracias, no solo por este video sino por todos. Un trabajo excelente. Saludos desde Argentina. Thank you very much not only for this particular video, thanks for all the videos you post. Excellent work.
Glad you like it. However, I think it came out more intense than I intended in this video. I'm having trouble with color calibration, and I just discovered that things look VERY different on my computer than they do on ... well, just about everybody else's. So, I'm expecting that I'll do a remake of this video (which I'll post on my alternate/remake channel, musanim). In it, the Voronoi background is much less obtrusive.
This is a masterpiece! Do you inherently see color with music or is it more intuitive? I don't know if that makes any sense, but I do know your use of color took my breath away and that aspect of your art seems to have really flourished in the past year.
Yep. Definitely answered it. If you ever feel the urge, I think it'd be interesting to see you express yourself and "do one way that seemed beautiful to [you] sometime." But all your videos have been greatly appreciated by me. Thank you!
+Richard Langford That would be really interesting! If Smalin were to do something like you said he could perhaps do a regular version and his personal version on musanim or the main channel. Although, it would really probably depend on how much time it would take and whether or not Smalin has any interest.
Is not much different from the first version... I would suggest use just one color for each instrument in these orchestral music I think is more easy to understand the different lines. And you could use the voronoi background to show intensity and dinamics of the piece.
As Voronoi is a renderer using calculations to fill in space that is not being used by the presence of other notes in the same vicinity, it would be rather hard to show dynamics with Voronoi unless it is more customizable or something along the lines of that. I don't know for sure, as I'm not the one who made this video.
Janáček Vítězslav I think the shapes is a little confused.The video have wide elipses and small ones and rhombus very wide while other is just a hollow with light and they cross each others... when i pause i can understand better but... i think you get what i trying to say.
I re-did this video because somebody wanted to license it for an exhibition in Germany and the earlier version had a lot of things wrong with it that I wanted to fix. I added the Voronoi background because that's what I'm liking these days. I didn't remake it in order to add the Voronoi background.
There's a reason ... I don't know whether it's a good reason ... I put the first version of any video on the smalin channel, and if I make multiple versions, I but the alternate version on the musanim channel ... unless a new version is enough better that I think my smalin subscribers should see it, in which case I put it there ... there's also a musanim3D channel for people with Chromadepth 3D glasses ... and a private channel where I put tests and demos that are not intended for a general audience.
And here I am thinking I had it figured out where 'smalin' was simply your more recent channel and musanim was just an old one. I have your videos page of smalin bookmarked and check every day for a new video, but now I'll have to spend a few nights looking through musanim to see if there's anything interesting I've missed. Thanks for explaining the distinction tho lol
If I make an alternate version of a video, I mention it in the FAQ of the original version. Or, at least, I try to remember to do that. The way to learn about my new videos is to subscribe to my channel and set your preferences/profile/settings/whatever so that you get an email when I upload a new video. There are three channels I post things to: smalin (main), musanim (remake/alternative), and musanim3D (Chromadepth 3D versions).
For everything I post on RUclips, there are things about it I like and things about it I don't like, and there people who like it and people who don't; I know that already, so I don't need to have individual viewers tell me what they think. I might conceivably be interested in the statistics (what percentage of viewers like or don't like a particular thing I do), but less than one viewer in a thousand leaves a comment, and there's no reason to think that people who feel strongly about a video to write a comment are a representative sample. It's gratifying when people like what I do in my videos, of course, but if they don't, it doesn't have an effect on me --- other than to make me depressed and sorry for them. I don't do things differently based on viewers telling me they don't like what I'm doing. The primary reason I enable comments on my videos is so I can answer viewer's questions.
I dont know why but i dont like any kinda of music from 1875 and above they dont have a specific theme or harmony they are just a noises, anyone else thinks that way ??
+Ze Rubenator nahh Wagner has a bunch of amazing overtrues.. plus his first and only compete symphony in C major.. these have themes, but as I said most of the works from 1875+ is just a noises that I dont get..
Solomon Al-Harbi There are many contemporary composers who stay well within the realms of tonalty, though. I find them to be somewhat less interesting than the more experimental stuff, but there's plenty of them.
@@smalin Bro, seriously. If you replace fucking music sheets with this, it literally makes it way more clear and not looking like youre reading ancient egyptian HIEROGLYPHICS.
I've been looking at my animated graphical scores for about fifty years, but I still can't read from them as easily as from conventional notation (either for playing from or hearing the music in my head). My graphical notation is designed for listeners, not for composers and performers.
This is why Debussy is my favorite classical composer. This magical experience right here.

The sort of faded out colours in the background for the stained glass type effect, is so beautiful with this piece. Very nice.

This is the most beautiful video you have ever done, and of a piece I already love to bits. Very well done!
Harmonic coloring looks soo good on this periods composers
Beautiful visuals!! I've never been able to follow this piece as fully as I could with this. I think that is one of the things these are for!
The "first truly modern composer", Debussy is yet in a class by himself, defying limitation to one genre or era.
a true masterpiece, every bar of it
Wow. You've really outdone yourself with this one. Truly inspired. Thank you!
Enjoyed it more than words can express, magical and hypnotizing. Thank you very much for the experience
Muchas Gracias, no solo por este video sino por todos. Un trabajo excelente. Saludos desde Argentina.

Thanks for the compliment. You're quite welcome.
The Voroni makes your harmonic coloring even more effective. I love it.

I subscribed to Music-Eyes a few weeks ago and they barely e-mailed me about MAM being updated.
The Music:Eyes project will take several years to unfold. Be patient.
+smalin OK
+smalin Maybe I can help support it by making some MAM videos.
I totally think this is where Music Animation Machine needs to update! Are they ever going to update it?!?! If they did, where can I download it?
"They" is me. I'm currently part of this project, which may release software to the public in the future: www.musiceyes.org
I just subscribed to the newsletter. Thanks! Take all the time you need. That visualization looks really cool.

Hopefully, this page (which I just wrote) will answer your question: www.musanim.com/Color/

Te pasaste, Steven.
Is not much different from the first version... I would suggest use just one color for each instrument in these orchestral music I think is more easy to understand the different lines.
And you could use the voronoi background to show intensity and dinamics of the piece.
If you want to watch instrumental lines, watch the shapes
As Voronoi is a renderer using calculations to fill in space that is not being used by the presence of other notes in the same vicinity, it would be rather hard to show dynamics with Voronoi unless it is more customizable or something along the lines of that. I don't know for sure, as I'm not the one who made this video.
See the "To try (future)" section at the bottom of this page: www.musanim.com/Voronoi/
Well that clears things up! Thank you!
Janáček Vítězslav I think the shapes is a little confused.The video have wide elipses and small ones and rhombus very wide while other is just a hollow with light and they cross each others... when i pause i can understand better but... i think you get what i trying to say.
Beautiful! By the way, this piece somehow reminds me of The Mummy.
Very Nice,..
Ever think about reuploading Rite of Spring with Voronoi?
www.musanim.com/Voronoi/
+smalin is this representative for how many more voronoi-remakes we will get?
You know me better than to think I ever talk about my plans.
+smalin I mean these shots of old vids with voronoi slapped on them could be interpreted as a plan but who knows what you are gonna stick to.
I re-did this video because somebody wanted to license it for an exhibition in Germany and the earlier version had a lot of things wrong with it that I wanted to fix. I added the Voronoi background because that's what I'm liking these days. I didn't remake it in order to add the Voronoi background.
Is there a reason why you have 2 channels?
There's a reason ... I don't know whether it's a good reason ... I put the first version of any video on the smalin channel, and if I make multiple versions, I but the alternate version on the musanim channel ... unless a new version is enough better that I think my smalin subscribers should see it, in which case I put it there ... there's also a musanim3D channel for people with Chromadepth 3D glasses ... and a private channel where I put tests and demos that are not intended for a general audience.

Is the prelude to the afternoon the morning?
My understanding is that the piece is intended as a prelude to Stéphane Mallarmé's poem (The Afternoon of a Faun).
How about some Wagner? Like the Tristan und Isolde prelude?
Wagner is very unlikely. See the page given under "Could you please ..." in the FAQ.
Would be great if not for the stretch
I think the stretch improves it (that's why I did it).
And I strongly disagree. Thought you'd want to hear your viewers' tastes

I dont know why but i dont like any kinda of music from 1875 and above they dont have a specific theme or harmony they are just a noises, anyone else thinks that way ??
I used to, but after listening to a lot of music it gets much more attractive. Although Wagner is still way too heavy for me.
