    You knew it was going to be a good day when this DVD was pulled out during elementary school music class, and to this day, MANY years later, it's still as cool as the first time I saw it.
  • @Dez_The_Fox
    This was not in your recommended, you searched for this.
  • @cdug7963
    When you think the song’s at the climax but there’s still four more instruments to unlock
  • @zoecashion4473
    Animusic is truly a forgotten gem (not many people heard of it, seen it, or even talk about).
  • 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.

    Every single one of these I'm either like "oh I know this one, this was my jam" Or I'm like "huh I don't really remember this one" but then it starts and I'm like "oh my god I remember this!!"
  • @P4tr0ll3r_04
    My favorite revelation about animusic is no matter how insane the setup is, pretty much every single song has a normal-ish looking drum kit
  • @weegeebeast
    I know it’s CGI, but I fully believe this level of complex robotics is entirely possible now
  • @bvp547
    not all heros wear capes. Thank you for bringing this back
  • @musicbyshadofox
    These two videos right here. This is why I'm obsessed with music.
  • @izjaron
    after all these years, finally... i've found where that one memory of a mental snapshot of Heavy Light came from.
  • @briannas601
    Please let me remind you that Animusic 1 came out in 2004, and Animusic 2 in 2005, and there hasn't been a project like this since. This is still something people are trying to do now, and these guys did it in the mid-2000's. It's still blows my mind that this was made before I was born with old techand not today with our new modern tech and there hasn't been something this elaborate since.
  • The Resonant Chamber proves you don't need every type of instrument (woodwind, percussion, etc.) to make a good song. You just need talent. And innovation.
