Just came across this amazing animation:

"Animusic"

It looks like the bastard child of a mating of various stringed instruments.

I'm gonna step outside and suitably prepare myself to give this a good watch/listen. Jennie, how did you find that?

It's been in my computer for a few years. It is haunting, mesmerizing.

Believe it or not, it was posted on a quilting site! We're an interesting lot, we quilters.

Why is the word "embed" in the URL for that? The usual YouTube video doesn't have that.

I bought the first two Animusic DVDs. They were clever, but the graphics were disappointingly fuzzy. The third Animusic production is on BluRay, so I suppose it will be better - this High Definition YouTube video certainly is nice.

Ooh, there's a new one coming? Goody! My son and I have loved the first two DVDs for years. And "Resonant Chamber" is one of my favorite pieces.

Wow, I must have been living under a rock because I've never heard of it before! It is a little creepy - those 'fingers' plucking the strings - but very clever.

Clair, it's also one of mine. I can almost see Vincent Price creeping through a dimly lit dungeon.

Amazing! I first discovered it a few years ago on the Classic Arts Showcase channel, a television channel that is the classical equivalent of channels that show rock videos. Clips from concerts and recitals by well-known or not-so-well-known, but very good singers and musicians, scenes from opera and ballet, bits from classic movies…….

All kinds of neat clips. Including odd bits like "Animusic."

Animusic is all computer graphics—I think……

Go to YouTube and put "animusic" in the search box. All kindsa wild and hairy stuff!

Yep, it's all CGA and we have loved it for years,too. The plucking fingers remind me of spiders.It's out of MIT if i remember rightly. Thanks for the reminder.

My favourite by Animusic (Animated-music) is acoustic curves...... it is cleverly animated and the tune used is great.... here it is:-

Clever animation to real music.
