i know this is just a joke but what do you mean "wintergatan" is that a person or something. the only reason i am so confused about this is because in swedish "vintergatan" means "the milky way"
Why is nobody taking about how great this sounds??? Especially with headphones it’s amazing listening to the instruments go back and forth between your ears
That's called stereo sound. It was invented decades ago. And seeing as how the score was done by a professional musician who was a perfectionist who suffers from ADHD, of course it sounds good. He wouldn't have released it if it wasn't good.
Fun fact: Every transcription of this I've been able to find has the first two notes written as the same exact pitch, but to me they're clearly different. So I asked my dad's fiancee, who happens to be a classical guitarist. Turns out the two notes are the same pitch, but the string is plucked differently: The first note would be plucked with the fingernail, the second more so with the pad of the finger. So I'm not insane! Also, I'd love to hear how you perceive the difference between the notes, if you do at all. Personally I've always heard the second note as slightly lower, but my sibling says it's slightly higher.
Yup! Same fundamental frequency in the first two notes, just different harmonic frequencies above it! The harmonics are what lets a flute and a saxophone that are both playing the same note still have a distinct sound!
I had the same thing, I thought it was an octave down, then one time I tried to transcribe it and realized. I hear it as like... a guitar then a bass guitar, playing the same note.
I’ve spent a good like 11 years thinking this was a fever dream I had as a child- I remember my music teacher letting us scoot our chairs up close to the screen to watch it instead of us playing "Hot Cross Buns" on our recorders, man those were the good ol days-
Holy shit yea, i had completely forgotten, but we did the same xD looking at it now it seems so obviously animated but back then we couldn't easily tell
This video literally feels like music class. Like that feeling when you walk in with the chairs and the fact that it's the only room you've seen with a rug. Idk how to describe it, it's just.... THAT.
although such a program woukd definitely be possible, probably even one that can handle midi files, making such a thing in one month time would be difficult. if i can find the time i may try to make somethung like it. seems interesting.
@@Yorie1234 maybe it would be possible to like write out the music out normally (say in FL studio) and then translate those notes into midi and then render a video based on that?
More than 14 years later and this is still fascinating. Childhood memories. I remember I spent long days trying to figure out how it all synched up so perfectly. A masterpiece for its time.
@@raquelsanchez4129 Yeah, idk what’s taking them so long lmao. Shits banging. Composition is just good to listen to and the animation really puts you in another world
I can't put into words how accurate that comment is. I was bowling the other week and was literally thinking "these animations are somehow their own genre".
It’s 2008 and your in your elementary schools music room. Your teacher pulls out a dvd of animusic and places it into the very old computer and starts to play animusic on the projector screen. The day became 1000x times better.
This is the kinda stuff I would have loved when I was 18 and on drugs, now I’m 67 and I love it for the amount of work and talent that went into making all of these amazing videos
@@Miztk2 the technology for this is pretty much the same, only the speed of processing is better for a work like this (in therms of rendering times); this is MIDI music synchronized with 3D graphics animation, surprisingly little has changed about these, but what could have?
Pov: it’s 2nd grade. Your 7 years old. Its a Friday. You walk into music class and the lights are off and your music teacher pops this bad boy into the tv. Life is good
SAME!!! Every couple years the memory would come back and I would try to look it up but the closest I would get was the Blue Man Group... Until now that I found the real deal without even looking for it!!!!
I loved this video as a child!! I’m only now finding this after so many years! I remember my parents watching this with me, and honestly they could put me in front of the tv, play this and I would be fine for the rest of the day.
same tbh. The fountain chugging through the funnel in different directions seemed physically and mechanically impossible at the time. I think that's when dad explained it was animation and I was a bit peeved about it
@@caltheuntitled8021 No, I came here for another reason...I tried to search up ping pong machine (that roblox trolls use as music) but I am pleased for the same reason.
I used to watch this as a child on the family computer. I finally rediscovered it and my nostalgia is hitting so heavy right now. This thing hasn’t aged a bit. What a gem 💎
Damn near cried watching this Thinking back to the days in elementary school watching these in amazement in music class. I'm in college now, where did the time go?🥺🥺
I had a faint memory of this one day and googled something like “marble music cgi animation” and stumbled upon this. It’s been so long since music class when we watched this but it still carries so much nostalgia for me
The last time I watched this was around 5 years ago or more. I remembered it and came back to see it again just now. I remember telling my family that it was real back then...lol
Let's be real here. Most of us are here because we saw this in music class in elementary school and we still love it to this day. I am one of those people, and I still love Animusic!
I was pretty young when this came out, i only remember getting introduced by my siblings. Your grade school days mustve been awesome if thwy played this!
I found animusic disk 1 and 2 for sale at some sort of local film festival when I was like 9 or 10. And they fuckin changed my world lol. Nearly two decades later, im still chasing the dream of being both an animator and musician. And i come back to listen to these every now and again.
I've never seen this before today, and it's absolutely incredible! I don't think it's only nostalgia factor that makes this so enjoyable. These Animusic videos just tickle my senses perfectly, it's really great
IKR! Why are there so many comments about it being a "nostalgia trip", and so few about the ingenuity and creativity of this? And, the beauty of the symmetry and order it displays?
It was the now when you wrote it but I am here from the future and I am looking at your thoughts which you had yesterday via this comment as passage of time for what you were thinking then. Language is such as useful tool it enables us to print out our thoughts for others to see and it can remain for such a long time
I remember my Grandma emailed this to me and my mom and asked us to figure out if it was real when I was like 10 years old. We were all convinced it was real for like, a week.
The same sorta thing happened to me. My grandma called me and said: « look what I’ve found! » we watched it three or for times and I find it again 10 years later. I thought I’d never see it again.
Digital Down True, it looks like a Video game from 2001. For 18 years later we have gotten to the point where we can make graphics look like the real ocean or a realistic head of hair. I guess back then it didn’t matter that it looked like a video game.
MrKenichi22 yeah. I’m very well versed on animation. The reason why it looks like a video game is because most computer graphics at the time baked the lighting into the textures as opposed to what we mostly use today which is PBR or physically based rendering in the textures. With PBR the lighting interacts with a material like how real life would. Crazy how far we’ve come. Now AI is on the cusp of automating the most tedious aspects of animation... ok I’m done rambling 🤐🤐🤐
I remember being blown away when this first came out, working as a coder at Gremlin Graphics. It still produces a smile even after all these years. Fantastic stuff.
My dad was the obsessed with this. I remember this when it came out and he showed me it. Then I remember he sent me this link on email. Here I am again.
i remember seeing this when it first came out and it was literally one of the most amazing things i've ever seen.... crazy that it still holds up to this day !!!! ( imo )
More than 10 years since my elementary school music teacher showed this in class, and it still goes so hard. I Googled so hard trying to find it and I will never lose it again
