    The compositional skill here is insane. Like, it’s one thing to write a cool song, it’s another to write a cool song with only string instruments, but it’s a whole other level to write a cool song with only string instruments that then looks cool when animated on imaginary instruments

    I remember in elementary school our music teacher would sometimes just turn Animusic DVDs on for us to watch. I'm turning 19 this year, and I'm still mesmerized by this song in particular. The way the "fingers" on the instrument work in tandem to strum their strings with no mistakes whatsoever (yes, I know it's an animation) was always something that intrigued me as a small 8-year-old. And the haunting interlude melody that plays between the more intricate upbeat portions helps capture the idea that perhaps this strange multi-acoustic device was created on a now long-abandoned world broadcasting the sound of what their creators had once created. If this was a real automated instrument I could buy, I wouldn't mind paying like, $10k for it at all. So cool.

If its really an interest, maybe you are into engineering and you should try to make something cool. Always something new to dream up.

    It had lain there for years-a testament to a dead civilization, long since gone and forgotten by time. For years, it had collected dust in the empty mausoleums of a civilization, patiently waiting for its masters to return and allow it to fulfill its purpose once more.
    One night, as the moon rose in a velvet-black night sky sprinkled with stars like diamond dust, a lone mouse searching for food happened upon this curiosity. It quickly came to realize it held no food, but as it left, it happened to accidentally trip a wire deep inside of it.
    Gears turned. Strings tightened. Pulleys went up and down, levers went back and forth, and echoing through an empty city of the dead, with nobody to appreciate it...

    Atop a high tower on an abandoned planet slowly drifting away from its mother star, a strange instrument plays a hauntingly beautiful melody for seemingly hundreds of millennia. Nobody knows how it remained functional without the aid of its creators other than it’s mysterious organic mechanisms and ability to mend itself. It is said that the tower acts as a landmark for souls traveling across the Milky Way and a beacon for lost souls trying to find their way back.

    When I was about 7 years old my rather eccentric neighbor gave me the animusic 2 dvd, he was always very nice and gave me a lot of gifts that were always related to things I liked/was interested in and at the time I was learning to play guitar. This piece was my first exposure to the sound of a variety stringed instruments and I watched it probably a hundred times if not more. It made me understand fingerpicking much faster than just watching human guitarists and I had a visual representation of different musical parts building upon each other to create a whole song. I still love it

    Given how the harp section of the instrument never gets played, I like to think this was an unfinished machine. Perhaps the craftsman who'd spent his entire life on this one contraption slowly had what was left of his soul sucked out by the cruel passage of time. The harp was supposed to play itself, but the craftsman had little time left. The master craftsman could hear the ticking of the clock, and used his sweat, tears, blood, and poured the last fragments of soul to compose this lonesome song. As he took his last breath, what he heard was the sound of the instrument he'd worked on his whole life. Unfinished, yet undoubtedly his greatest masterpiece. His magnum opus. Slowly, he felt naught but the cold of the night, and the warm glow of the moonlight. His last thoughts were those of contentment with a hint of regret, wishing to the night sky that maybe someone, someday, under the same tender glow of the moon, could finish the legacy he had left behind. Even after the passing of this great mind, his instrument continues to play. Be it to an audience, or to the moon which its creator saw last. Eternally, until the world returns to the dust and void from which it came.

    I am here to tell the sad tale of Animusic.
    My father and I first saw this on a TV screen inside a best buy. We decided to investigate further and found out that they had made one movie the first one Animusic 1.
    He and I found it a great delight and went home and watched it several times within the next however long it was.
    We then caught wind of an Animusic 2.
    This proved to be fruitful. We did indeed find Animusic 2 and it was just as wonderful as the first one if not more.
    We then heard wind of a 3rd.
    We waited and waited and waited. And no Animusic 3 ever showed up. Well then the internet became a thing and in my later teenage years I decided to look up what happened to them.
    The software they used to animate ended up being not functional or they tried to upgrade it and they ran out of money something along those lines. And they could not make any music three and they gave up on that dream and there has never been anything like that since.

    Not sure what is most impressive. That someone actually played this music... that someone even wrote it... that someone dreamt up this amazing musical contraption... or that they were able to bring their image to life. Also impressive is the graphical detail, the feeling of exploration as it pans around, and a sense of autonomous life from the mechanisms. To put all this together 'accurately to the music' is absolute quality on all levels 👏👏👏👏👏

    • @nolram
      @nolram 2 года назад +10

      I don’t think anyone has ever played it - at least the music in the video is synthetic using synthesizers and samplers to replicate organic sound :) The MIDI data used for that is the same that drives the animation.

    • @silhouettoofaman2935

    @JohnDoe-zl6qw 6 лет назад +445

    What's really amazing is the animator's incorporation of anticipatory movement into the "fingers". A purely robotic device would exercise economy of motion; no movement not absolutely necessary would be permitted. But if you rewatch the animation, you'll see the fingers "anticipating" where next they are to move through subtle motion in that direction. Even at rest, the fingers continue to exhibit small, almost involuntary flexing and relaxing movements. The overall effect imbuing the instrument with a much more familiar organic presentation versus the cold detachment of mechanical efficiency. Brilliant!
