    Animusic is an American company specializing in the 3D visualization of MIDI-based music. Founded by Wayne Lytle, it is incorporated in New York, with offices in Texas and California. The initial name of the company was Visual Music, but changed to Animusic in 1995.
    Lytle founded Animusic (originally under the name Visual Music) in 1995 with his associate David Crognale. Together, they released Animusic 1 originally in 2001 (and re-released in 2004, with 5.1 surround sound and extra content) and Animusic 2 in 2005. (and re-released in 2010, along with Pipe Dream from Animusic 1, in full HD)

      I heard about it just earlier today when I was watching a Vsause video because he mentioned it and for some reason I thought it sounded familiar yet I don't ever remember hearing about it before. I looked it up and it reminded me of a very specific memory of a certain video that looks very similar to this style that I watched early on in my childhood. So I've basically spent the past 2 or so hours I've been trying to find the videoing my memory (partly while watching this video) and I'm absolutely enthralled while baffled that this isn't more heard of

    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.

This is still something people are trying to do now, and these guys did it in the mid-2000's.

    I remember being amazed at just how _good_ Animusic looks on a standard-definition TV. Apparently the creators did some kind of special compositing on the DVDs to achieve this effect, and it's lost if it's played on a computer rather than being directly output to an SDTV from a DVD player. With how far upscaling technology has come, however, I expect it could probably be upscaled pretty well to HD if someone who really knows their stuff made an effort.

    What would be amazing is programming an AI that could generate the visual control of this model based on musical input. So basically you sit down at a keyboard begin playing a piece and the 3D model animates in conjunction. You could either input all of the instruments live or recorded and the 3D model AI would animate and supplement any instruments not being supplied.

Everything about it is perfect, from the beautiful music to the gorgeous yet retro visuals, to the nostalgia it brings... It almost makes me cry (and sometimes has).

    i will always cherish and love animusic. my dad found out about it at one point or another, and i remember when he took me out to get the dvds. i was so young. and now? these pieces of music bring out a feeling of such blissful innocence. whether its joyful, excited, amped up, whatever. it makes me feel like a kid again. takes me back

    why is animusic still a classic to this day who knew that a music genre that isn't popular but popular enough to survive today's music. animusic started way back during the 90s and became popular during the mid-2000s its insane i still love this music after 8 years since i first heard it... still a perfect classic with no flaws.

    I remember I used to try to mimic the songs with drum sticks when I was a kid, I miss those days

    My parents showed me and my sister this when we were young, we thought it was crazy these instruments were playing themselves/ by robots... and back in the day to a kid it looked super real!
