The fact that this animation holds up *to this day* and STILL has millions going through nostalgia trips just shows how fantastic this is and how much this affected peoples lives

I'VE FOUND IT!!! THIS SONG HAS BEEN IN MY HEAD FOR YEARS AND I'VE FINALLY FOUND!!!!

I'm just glad people still like this

I love that most of Animusic isn't just animation of normal instruments playing the music, but rather, they create their own unique little world. I especially notice it here, where everything is just so utterly unlike anything in real life.

0:38 The melody you can't get out of your head, after all these years.

I hope animusic knows it’s still remembered even in 2020

When my son was little, he watched these Animusic videos until the discs were worn out. They started him on a lifelong love of music. Now he's 19 and double majoring in Music Ed and Piano Performance. Thank you, Animusic creators!

The fact that its over a huge dark hole scares me a bit😯

i actualy typed "sentient instruments playing on some weird 2000s program" to get here because it has been stuck in the back of my head for years.

I feel like I owe this song a public apology. I was introducing Animusic to my mom and after watching a couple of tunes, she clicked on this one, and I advised her "No, this one isn't very good, try another one", and she did. If I'm honest, the real reason I wanted my mom to skip this one is that the 4:06 onwards where the camera swoops down and the music just kinda builds actually made me tear up a little. So sorry, Acoustic Curves, you're an awesome tune 🙂.

1:26 a kid playing the keyboard for the first time

Any other geeks out there think this particular Animusic might actually be possible to make? You'd have to have a sounding board for all the strings or you wouldn't get much volume out of them. But compared to other Animusic vids, this one has dedicated mallets for each struck element rather than artificial human arms or strikers that move around on rails. That makes the mechanics a lot easier. Who wants to work on the hardware and who wants to write the software? :-D

There's an indescribable feeling that comes with this and it also inexplicably feels like a tune I know from somewhere else

This used to be my favorite one. I would dance all over my living room to it while it played on the TV from our DVD of this.

Was I the only one who got upset that not every string got used?

It's 2019 and animusic still rocks!

i've had this song stuck in my head for the past three years

I've never quite been able to explain why, but this particular song and animation get me choked up. It's just the sheer beauty of how it all comes together. When the chimes come down at the end and there's that final triumphant chorus, it gets me every single time. And I've loved Animusic for many years. Always makes me happy to revisit these.

I wish I could dance the way this music makes me feel. Instead, I’m afraid I only make my children give me weird looks. Still one of my favorite pieces of music.

Everyone relax for the most beautiful song in the solar system.

Nostalgia is hitting me hard and its making me tear up remembering the good memories I had during my childhood

Anyone else think they’ve heard this somewhere before but just can’t remember where?

4:10 is musical perfection, and the man behind it deserves to be known by everyone that appreciates music on a low, formulaeic level of qualification and quantification. Wayne Lytle is GOD :)

I just love how there are essentially two melodies but they merge together so well-written

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR FIVE YEARS MY LIFE IS COMPLETE Time to go make a KSP video

Aww hell yes. This was always my fave of the original set. Rock on ~ 🎸

this and aqua harp are perfect for people with anxiety to use for the “thought stopping” process. i make myself concentrate on ONE instrument for the entire song. definitely keeps my mind from wandering. and on extremely bad days i can listen over and over concentrating on a different instrument each time.

any one else think the hammers at 1:39 look like salt and pepper shakers?

Once upon a time there was a man that asks another: "Hey, what's this?" and the other answers: "Oh nothing, only the BEST VIDEOS IN THE WORLD EVER CREATED!!!"

2:00 commence the FONK

I always get the part at 2:00 stuck in my head and I could never remember where it was from

I have a memory of my pbs station playing these really late at night. My dad and I used to sit and watch and rewatch them for hours. I just randomly saw what they were called and found this video, my favorite of the ones I used to watch. I probably haven’t seen or heard this music since I was around 5 or 6 years old (I am now almost 20) and it’s so engrained in my memory. It’s uncanny how something like this can affect you for the rest of your life.

I like the bass, idk why

Am I the only one who thinks the blue hammers look like erasers?

Sounds sad then happy

I really would like to arrange this for orchestra now...

I cannot, for the LIFE of me, figure out what this song reminds me of. I don't know if I'm just remembering it from when I was younger and confusing myself, if it's a big mix-up of tunes that remind me of other songs, or if there an actually song out there my brain is trying to get me to remember. Just- that 4:10 to 4:40 reminds me of SOMETHING. Oh, and Pokemon. There is definitely some Pokemon battle-theme mixed in there in places.

1:26 me playing any instrument

Instrument Color names Pink: Acoustic guitar Yellow: harpschord Blue: Bass Purple: Xylophone Gold: Chime Violet: Drums

This sounds like a hero’s theme song but also sounds Mexican at the same time

I can’t get over the drop beat

0:06 *Thinks Future Retro is about to play*

damn if one of the cymbals or drumsticks break its gonna be a hell of a job to fix

The smallest and third smallest chimes are never used

my entire life this has been in my head

this always gives me goosebumps

omg who's still watching this years sure do fly by

I first heard this at Fry's took me FOREVER to find it!

I'm still watching here in 2019! Animusic is unique and the melodies are catchy. The visual are still, after all this time, fascinating. This one is upbeat and bright. Harmonic Voltage is my favorite one so far but to me it has a sad, longing quality. But that's what I love about it. Emotional.

The ironic thing about this song is that this is all just a .midi file.

At 2:34 they toss in a 17/4 time signature broken down as 4-4-4-5. Animusic is awesome.

1:59 is when awesomeness kicks in

Would be sick to have a grand piano configured like the gold row. Make people think you're about to play some Beethoven, then rip out on a sick solo. Or the blue row.

still such a bop even in 2021

Oh fuck man this is so nostalgic. Spent years listening to animusic as a teenager

The humble music artist, starting small with an original heartfelt song using all they have, slowly getting people to find them, and they start to get more equipment, and more to make music with, though soon they follow with what is popular and start going with everyone else, but they can’t help but feel nostalgic and wanna go back to what they had, and finally at their peak they burn out, they make one last goodbye message, heartfelt and truly meaningful, reflecting on everything they had done, and then, they leave, for someone else to take their place. That’s what I think of when I hear this song honestly, and I’m never gonna think of something different, since that’s what this song truly means to me

The A theme (0:38) always gives me Feels

The slow camera sweeps add so much atmosphere to this masterpiece.

This was my favorite era of Animusic. when the machines felt plausible, and didn't look remotely human

Oh my... I REALLY LOVES THIS SONG!! Really takes me back in time!! Really puts tears into my eyes remembering my past with this song... I’m crying right now...

Some music is timeless

4:44 engage amazing mode

Soul stirring, and absolutely wonderful! Timeless! Artists displaying their craft at the highest level!

4:44 is my favorite part, perfect harmony :D

OH OH OH!!! I JUST NOTICED!!! THE YELLOW HAMMER MALLET THING ABOUT THE PURPLE GUITAR THING IS A DULCIMER!!!!!!!

Excellent concept.

I remember this stuff from 3rd grade. I'm 20 years old now and feeling nostalgic this time around. I hope everyone has a great 2022

4:45 is the best part of the song

This song is so sad I cried 😭

Every single one of these songs invokes a lot of emotions into me because I watched these when it came out and damn it hits hard.. I love it and I do hope animusic makes a huge come back soon.. I know they've been dealing with a lot.

This is such a core memory for me I will ALWAYS VIBE with Animusic

I see a story in my head: purple guitar starts us off: young, frolicking around, pausing every now and then to maybe smell a flower or something. she (I just feel it’s a she) then meets yellow (guitar? piano? harpsichord?) and invites him to frolic, before continuing on her merry way. soon, she notices Yellow hasn’t followed her, and returns to ask what’s on his mind. after a conversation, he decides to give that frolicking thing a try, but tries to copy what she did. when he pauses to ask her if he’s doing it right, she tells him to just do whatever’s in his heart. that’s when he breaks out into that rock riff, with Purple standing by watching to see in what beautiful direction this goes. blue bass and drum show up; Purple wonders who they are, but that question leaves her mind as they join in with Yellow. Purple finds her opportunity to add her voice to the music, and the song is born. I made that up as I went along, drawing from emotions I perceived in the instruments. It might not make much sense but idc

It feels soooooo good, like it gets really comfy in here...

Those are some FINE CURVES!

literally the most beautiful song ever, paired with some gorgeous animation (especially for its time), bless

Listening in 2020?!

Música instrumental é excepcional

I am 15 now, and my parents showed me this like 8-9 years ago, and since then this and other songs haven't got out of my head. Now I was bored and said to myself why not to check these masterpieces. Greetings to everyone 2020 here :)

Hiii here in 2021 🎉 I remember watching this in elementary school, love this so much!

That slap bass part at 3:12 sounds nice 👍🏻

I have always been a music nerd, but to SEE it like this is a different level.

This never gets old! 😍

Holy i havent seen this in like 7 years THE NOSTALGIA

2:00 is where the song really starts lol P.s thank you to the friends who gave me a like

Reddit video of guy losing marbles leads me to Wintergarten marble machine and have to look this up. Damnit.

This track is just such a magical experience

This is my favourite Animusic song / video!

I remember when I was three years old, I had to go to the doctor’s office to get shots (standard vaccinations.) I really didn’t want to get them, much like any child, but my mom told me she’d get me a prize if I went through with getting the shots. You see, at the time, I really enjoyed watching a DVD my parents had in the children’s disk library in our kids room. It was called “Robots.” Well, I called it that anyway. You couldn’t have convinced me otherwise. After all, there were robots in the first song. Why wouldn’t it be called that? Turns out, despite my child mind and its thinky skills, it was actually called “Animusic 2.” So a week before I had to get my shots, we were shopping at a Best Buy, and my mom saw a copy of Animusic (which was of course called “Robots 2” at the time.) She promised that if I got my shots, she would buy me Robots 2. I cried when I got the shots, but I was the happiest kid when it was over.

0:37 thats the first chunk ive ever heard of Animusic when i first found it.

A ROUND 10 YEARS SEARCHING FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!! I heared this on a Beattle Show-car on BCN and from that day, I'm searching for that great comp. Thank you very much!

Classic & fantastic music video

2:00 i love how it just entirely changes into something more… uhhhh…. Yeah idk how to explain it lol 😅

What a brilliant work of art to the ears and the eyes....fantastic

Just found this, and cant stop watching, had it stuck in my head for years

I remember my dad letting me watch the first and second one on VHS. One of the big reasons why I'm so music-inclined today. 💞

es una melodía muy buena

I love this vid a hundred likes.#happy tears😂

This one will always be one of my favorites!

The ensemble is like classical guitar, drums including piano. great. congratulations.

1:58 the dampers goes up
