woodsman Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 It will be awesome on my system. Someday soon I will post some picks of my home theater. Seeing that on a 110in. screen will be spectacular. That animation looked like it was a lot of fun to make. This is one of the reasons why I scan the forum daily. There has been some fantastik new stuff to listen to by others mentioning artist's or this new dvd you brought to our attention. Someone else wrote about a musician called Aryoen that I looked into, bought some cd's, loved them, and bought the rest that available by him. I love this forum.

LarryC Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Nor is all lost for the classical-music oriented: "Aqua Harp" on Animusic 1 is a beautiful, slow, hypnotic video which has already been picked up by the classical-video ARTS (Classic Arts Showcase) cable network, FYI for the few who have access to it. It includes bowed music as ethereal string-instrument bows play virtual strings in the animation. Very clever!! "Cathedral Pictures" on Animusic 2 also looks very interesting tho' the clip timed out on me. It seems to center on a gigantic pipe organ, and says that "After many requests for an animation of a piece of known classical music, we produced excerpts from 3 movements of Mussorgskys "Pictures at an Exhibition". Played on a light-beam emitting pipe organ with drums, rock bass, many other instruments, and some pyrotechnics thrown in at the end!"

It includes bowed music as ethereal string-instrument bows play virtual strings in the animation. Very clever!! After watching Animusic 2, I went back and dug out my Animusic 1 DVD, which, as you know, includes the Aqua Harp segment. Yes, indeed, it is a slow, melodic, and admittedly, a beautiful piece. The "harp" is a five-peice "instrument", including the harp itself, chimes on the bottom of the harp, flute/whistles above the harp, a violin and viola (the bowed part) on each side. If we get a chance to meet again, I'll have to remember to bring this DVD up for you. "Cathedral Pictures" on Animusic 2 also looks very interesting tho' the clip timed out on me. It seems to center on a gigantic pipe organ, and says that "After many requests for an animation of a piece of known classical music, we produced excerpts from 3 movements of Mussorgskys "Pictures at an Exhibition". Played on a light-beam emitting pipe organ with drums, rock bass, many other instruments, and some pyrotechnics thrown in at the end!" Larry "Chathedral Pictures" on Animusic 2 is truly amazing! Big, epic, and a lot of detail. Again, if we get a chance to meet again, I'll have to bring this up as well. Also, along the lines of the Aqua Harp, Animusic 2 includes a segment called Resonent Chamber, which is also a more straight-forward acoustic piece. It is not quite as slow as the Aqua Harp, though. Also, I would not be surprised in a future release of Animusic, you'll see more classical type peices being done. It seems quite a few people enjoy this. I was also watching it with the "Directors Commentaries" feature enabled. One of the things mentioned is that there could be a possible "forking" in which they make a DVD entirely of rock/electronic/techno type pieces ala. the "Future-Retro" from #1 or "Heavy Lights" from #2, as well as a DVD entirely of acoustic/classical type peices ala the "Aqua Harp" from #1, thus enabling people to really get what they want.

I'm delighted that you went back and listened/watched so attentively. I only saw Aqua Harp one time on ARTS, it was a little hard to remember everything. If we get that opportunity, it would be worthwhile for me to get a DVD player for the TV. I've occasionally considered having a forum get-together, BTW. Thanks!

Speedball Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 The 2nd song just woke up my subwoofer as I sit here in another room listening. When the wife arrives we will watch it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picky Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Repost from General Questions: I should have wrote this here instead.... (sorry) My Animusic 2 arrived yesterday. Too bad I didn't know about the nice discount now being offered. Oh well. I had chosen the free US Mail shipping and it got here fast. I watched it yesterday and really enjoyed it. I'm glad I didn't buy both DVDs (1&2) because there are 8 selections on #2, which is plenty and I noticed the DVD does have a sort of fatigue-factor to it. Perhaps, some of you made the same observation....or not? You're sitting there enjoying it and after a while it sort of dawns on you while you are viewing one of the less-facinating songs that you are just watching a "cartoon" with MIDI music (not really, but that's how it began to feel). I got the sudden urge to watch a "real" concert video with real people. Please believe me: I'm not trying to be the bad guy here and I'm not knocking Animusic. I believe that it's a extremely clever, fantasic acheivement. It simple appears to have it's own limit. I could sit throught the whole DVD a couple of times because I love both the music and the teriffic animation. But, I don't see many of my friends sitting through the entire DVD even once. I think they would be thrilled with seeing one or two songs, and then it's just "old hat". Maybe I'm way off base here? Bottom line: I'm glad I bought Animusic 2 and I will enjoy watching it for many years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
