Many years ago, I wondered about how to depict surprise in music, and didn't have any idea how to do it. Recently, some "low hanging fruit" pieces have appeared --- ones that did something surprising in a way that suggested a simple approach to visualization --- and I've been happy to experiment with these. But there are many kinds of surprise, and I'm only scratching the surface; the more subtle kinds of surprise are still way beyond me.
Thank you again Stephen. While the music is what got me to you, I truly appreciate starting this day with the epiphany that others See music too! I am finding your model(s) most akin to my vision. I'd love to discuss further...
This extremely varied art style works wonders for the animation, which now has the character of the piece as well. This style has a lot of applications too; I think the Liszt sonata would be spectacular. Only wishing of course.
I know you don't answer to request like this, but I will try anyways! I would love to see you do Suite Bergamasque No. 4 by Debussy (Passepied). It's, in my opinion, the best part of the Bergamasque composition.
Thanks for uploading one of my favourite Chopin works! Great animation as always. By the way, a small nitpick: the work’s name is in French instead of German, so it would a Fantaisie, not a Fantasie. Not that it makes any difference...
I can't believe I made this mistake. I blame dyslexia. I have the sheet music right in front of me, and I've been looking at it for days, and I never noticed the first i ... I've fixed it in the title and the comments; if I re-do the video, I'll fix it there on the remake.
Unluckily I don't actually have any at hand right now and this situation probably won't change in the near future. I can only imagine that it would most likely be a hell of an experience if I watched any of your animations after having some shrooms for example.
I was thinking the same, his MAM that is free for download is from 2006. I thought maybe someone out there started a Git project for these kind of animations, I personally would love to help with that
I wonder if you'll ever redo the "Fantaisie Impromptu" by Chopin. I mean, that work of yours in that piece is fantastic, but I love that melody so much that I'd watch a numerous of others animated graphical scores of that same song.
I'm finding myself in the uncomfortable position of having my work from several years ago compete with my more recent work. For just about every video I made more that a year or two ago, I could make a more satisfying animation now. It used to be that viewers were only asking me "could you please do a video of ________?" Now, they're also asking "could you please re-do your video of _______?" The answer hasn't changed, though. I have 174,000 subscribers, each of which has their wishes for what I'd do next. My time is limited, so even if I wanted to respond to my viewers' wishes, I'd still have to choose which viewers to listen to. I sometimes re-do videos, but that only happens when a re-do of something there's already a video for seems more valuable to me than a video of a new piece. Usually, there's more for me to learn from doing a new piece, and since I'm trying to maximize my progress, that's usually my choice. Viewers sometimes think I'm trying to maximize their enjoyment; I have nothing against pleasing my viewers, but that's just a happy side-effect; the main goal is to advance the art.
Hello! just found channel and am blown away. truly magnificent stuff here. I must know, are the colors representative of the chord degree? either way this is great ear tyraining to help me visualize intervals. thanks
The animation is based on the score, but then synchronized to the recording (or, with the live system, to the performance). Here's a generic how-to page: www.musanim.com/HowTo/
I'm an old fan, i don't understand why i didn't already subscribed to your channel....the problem is that the latest version of "Music Animation Machine" has only one version (compatible for mac, windows and linux) but just 1 version ... But this version is not compatible with MacOS High Sierra ( last version) ... I already tried emulators (Power PC, Wine ...) and install Windows but without success, the file is really incompatible with MacOS High Sierra ... I do not think to put the 10.6 (Snow Leopard) which was the latest version of Mac Compatible with, because the version is no longer available ... Why not do some kind of "V2" of this wonderful software that made me dream for 7 years? ... That would be awesome... Thanks
@@smalin you suggested it might be one of your best in your comment to Richard Atkinson on your video on Bach's Fantasia in G major. That comment brought me here :) ruclips.net/video/CX0rzQuggxo/видео.html
Just noticed the subtle animations at 2:33 to 2:38. How dandy!
I've added this piece to my page about depicting surprise: www.musanim.com/Surprise/
The visuals are amazing, every time, you nail it.
Nice touch for the applause at the end. :)
Great visualisation once more, well done!
This is maybe my favorite piece by Chopin, and you've done it serious justice with the accompanying illustrations.
Stunning, thank you Stephen. I really enjoyed the different types of animation
Wow, you broke out almost every style of animation you use to make this one, and it really works well with it!
"almost every"? Not by a longshot ...
www.musanim.com/Renderers/
... but yeah, I did mix it up a bit. :-)
I really like the swirling/ripple effects you used for the arpeggios. It was extremely fitting.
Stunning and virtuosic performance by James Boyk (I remember hearing this live) and superb visualization.
(gets interesting after 0:00)
:-)
RevoDon3S you mean 0:05
hemanmastermotuc I guess that is better, that is when the piece actually starts!
Easily the best Video you have ever made
I find your recent innovations with Surprise VERY compelling. Every visualization you produce becomes more enjoyable than the last, bravo!

Outstanding synergy of light and sound!
Fantasie Indeed!!! BRAVO!!!! Excellent as Always Mr. Malin.
im just discovering the classical composers, and chopin is just something else.
He is something else altogether; a Romantic composer.
Keep watching...it gets fun!
2:48 wonderful
Great animation, great performance! I bet Chopin himself would be mesmerized by this, if we get him to figure out a computer first.
Holy christ!
I watched later in the video, I feel like I'm on acid!
I'll take that as a good sign.
@@mantictac the wikepedia page says that mr. malinowski got the idea to make this due to acid itself
Even before 2:20 is wonderful...
Chopin is the best! ^^
Interesting? That's an understatement!
I added the message when I saw that most viewers don't watch that long.
glorious visualization my man!
Thanks!

I really like the detached left hand, sparing the damper pedal
Fantaisie is the name... and plenty of fantasy we find in the video!
Spectacular! I lost track of time watching and listening.
Perfect.

Chopin... the composer whose music everyone loves but nobody understands.
2:34 was that a glitch?
no
You are great and so is Boyk!
Wait 'til you hear his Beethoven opus 111 ...
smalin Sonata 32...oh my.
May take me a while ...
smalin Am sure I can wait.
See "Could you please ..." in the FAQ.

it's Chopin, it's always interesting
3:22 fire in the hole! : )
This one's a bit trippy even without drugs. Good work, as always!
If you try it with drugs, report back.
Unluckily I don't actually have any at hand right now and this situation probably won't change in the near future. I can only imagine that it would most likely be a hell of an experience if I watched any of your animations after having some shrooms for example.
People who've tried that report good results.
I like to O.D. on BBQ sauce and watch your videos!
The quality of your work is very good. Is there any way to add these effects to MAM? I downloaded it but it does not have these effects :(
This isn't a direct answer to your question, but it has all the relevant information: www.musanim.com/HowTo/
I was thinking the same, his MAM that is free for download is from 2006. I thought maybe someone out there started a Git project for these kind of animations, I personally would love to help with that

Oh my god :O
Lystig livfuld musik og en farverig animation .....
Thanks!

Fair enough. All your videos are free, so anything else is a bonus.
Please, don’t do any requiem.
Too late, I'm afraid.
smalin has un video asi pero de la cancion freedom dive↓ tambien de la cancion anima de xi
Simply classical
Greg Gregory Interesting comment. Why do you think some of his work sucks?
@@ThePlayerlane that's personal taste
Hello! just found channel and am blown away. truly magnificent stuff here. I must know, are the colors representative of the chord degree? either way this is great ear tyraining to help me visualize intervals. thanks
Color is determined by pitch class (C, C-sharp, D, etc. --- regardless of octave). You can read more about it here: www.musanim.com/HarmonicColoring/
To make these, do you use just the sheet music, how the musician(s) plays, or some combination of both?

This should give you a sense of your options: www.musanim.com/HowTo/
Liszt's Sonata in B minor will be fantastic with new animations in this piece
Nice graphics.
Haha, very cheeky, smalin.
If I was Chopin, I would probably be a little jealous right now...
Do you Know biz et?
nice
nice
Lol that minor cadence at the end seems almost like a joke
Why is that in G?!

The piece feels like an identity crisis, does it want to be fluid or orderly?
Still like it tho.
Emotions are like that.
It's a fantasie. It can do both.
@@wrakatere2907 Binary.
WOW hallways oudoing yourself
Very unique, I am not used to Chopin writing music like this. At some points, it almost sounds atonal
Where does it sound atonal?
