Over a decade later, and regardless of the technology we have today, this still brings tears to my eyes. It's so beautiful and timeless. The creativity back then.... those were the days.

Definitely one of the most underrated songs from the franchise 🎉

That green laser definitely formed the obsession for electric guitar sounds that I have now. As a child, I had never ever heard such an energetic and driven sound before and it was always my favorite part in whole animusic!

The two lead synths' harmony at the end of each 'chorus' bit is just fantastic.

This one hits me in the feels every damn time. Maybe it's the 80s nostalgia, maybe it's the sad-but-hopeful sound... maybe it's because it's just great music.

What I love about animusic is that everything you see and everything you hear are linked together in someway. Everything, even the things you didn't think out. Like that purple smoke in the background is the backing drone of the song. Everything is linked together, and it's brilliant.

Their planet was nearing its end. Though they could not save themselves, there was still hope: Project Harmonic Voltage. By combining fiber optics with the ancient Heavy Light pyramid, they could send a distress signal throughout the universe: one last piece of music, from a dying planet of living instruments. The first part of the song told their history. The second part asked for help. But even if rescue never came, the third part was triumph, because this last song would play forever. (reviving this great comment by Blake Raines) (reviving again)

The nostalgia I get from listening to this song hits about as hard as a cement truck going 80 on the freeway.

I'm 33 and I found animusic late at night on TV when I was 8.. I think this song combined with the rest of the series is what started my love for all things edm and dubstep

This was the near end of this planet. Everybody tried to save it, but failed. But the instruments still had hope, and sang for the life of their planet. The singing continued for days, and their planet was at risk. But the instruments continued to sing. They called it: Project Harmonic Voltage. This would be the ultimate project of this planet’s survival. Thanks to this project, their planet was saved, and lived on forever.

If you want a truly atmospheric experience, try watching this in full screen, at night, with the lights off

Not only did these guys make class leading, accurate and somewhat satisfying animations but the music itself is awesome too. This one sort of reminds me of Jean Michel Jarre's stuff from the 80s

Tragic that in this video, they cut off the very end where this song turns funky while they show the credits fit the whole DVD.

You should hear this on awesome stereo speakers. The bass vibrates the whole room. When it does that, you can tell a song was produced right.😁

The Harmonic Voltage is the most emotional for me. Once I almost burst into tears rewatching it...

imagine the amount of volts you would need to create this masterpiece irl

I really wish we could have had a midi player that had the visuals seen in the entire two albums so we could play our own songs and experiment with the machines.

OMG THIS WAS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE ONE AS A KID

this one is not only romantic, but it's more like has sadness in it. imagine if someone had a breakup and this song was played for that person.

I didn't know it at the time, but my love of Synthwave I think spawned when I watched this one as a kid. Now I listen to it with a new found appreciation.

that beat drop around 1:16 is what makes this song so good for me

My father showed me this when it came out and he was well into his 60s.. now I'm almost 60 and a friend and I came with entire club based on this as the opening music ! (Wish we could make it really happen!!)

Their world was ending. But all they knew was song. And so they sang. They sang to the merciless heavens. They sang to those that had forgotten them. They sang to all that were, and all that would ever be. They sang the song of their past. They sang the song of their present. And they sang the song of the future they wished they could see. And as the lights turned out As their song grew quiet Even as they knew they would never sing again They sang For they had one last song left, their final… Harmonic Voltage.

I missed the initial series way back when and only stumbled upon these remasters a few months back. So much fun to watch and listen to.

2:58 The strings with phaser really blends with guitar solo and always hits the spot every time I listen.

I always got sad when I came to this animation, because I knew the DVD was almost over.

I've seen Blake Raines' comment everywhere (about the dying civilization using Harmonic Voltage as one last cry for help), and I swear, I want a proper Animusic film SO damn badly! Having an Animusic movie with an actual story and lore would be so cool to see, and imagining the short story that Blake originally came up with for this specific song is such an amazing thing to visualize! Just thinking of an ancient civilization, on a planet far away, made entirely of autonomous instruments. A culture based around sound itself, and how it can be manipulated to form amazing pieces and experiences. A civilization that thrived on peace, evolving not through war and diversity, but by working together and unifying, no matter what instruments, to make one big, glorious orchestra with beautiful songs that will forever travel and propagate through the Universe. And with their last project, Harmonic Voltage, even if help never comes, their song will still forever play and leave a mark in time. And maybe... just maybe... there's other life out there... who will one day detect the music descending from space, and how wonderful it all sounds. They'd likely be too late to help this dying civilization, but they will celebrate with triumph, in honor of this civilization. Their people were no more, but their music will still live on, forever spreading joy and peace to those who come across it. And who knows? Maybe these civilizations will create music of their own, using the knowledge acquired from Harmonic Voltage (it did tell of their history after all in the first part), and will help to share it to any other civilizations that may also be out there.

The machines didn't want to conquer humanity, nor save it, they simply wanted to vibe with their electronica.

Harmonic voltage gives off the vibes of "animusic will live forever" or something, while heavy light gives off "animusic is at its end"

Anyone coming back to this after listening to it years ago?

How the fuck someone hasn't licensed these songs for a game is beyond me. This song alone fits so many different scenarios, I gave up trying to list them.

At 2:58, my younger self always thought that was an overdriven guitar playing that bit. But, when I bought the DVD the first time and listened to the commentary from Wayne Lytle, he said that part is actually from a synth, not an electric guitar.

harmonic voltage is one of the best animations together with future retro

My god... this remaster is so good! It's so buttery smooth

when there's so much voltage that physics no longer apply:

I Côme back to this every so often. First saw animistic in 2004 when I was 3 years old. I watched it until the dvd broke. I love this music.

Their hard drive was nearing its end. Though they could not save the files, there was still hope: Project Google Drive. By combining internet websites with the ancient central processing unit, they could send a distress signal throughout the universe: one last .blend backup, from a dying hard drive of old cgi videos. The first part of the file held the music file. The second part added camera movements. But even if the hard drive, the third part was triumph, because this backup would play forever as a 1080p 60 fps file.

I never really noticed that the tremolo was visible in that top glowing wire, that’s so dope

that slow zoom in shot to the mini bass tower was so addicting. please make more, wayne!

Me sinto flutuar no espaço ouvindo essa linda música de olhos fechados, como se eu estivesse flutuando principalmente a parte da luz verde, ela me arrepia e me tira lagrimas de emoção.

green laser used to scare me, now it's my favorite part.

Very nostalgic! The very first animusic video was this and the robots. Takes me back since 2007.

Still have the VHS with this, no clue where I got it from but, very nostalgic.

Thank you for those remasters. Animusic will live forever :)

Awesome! This is one of my favorite Animusic songs.

The attention to detail these had was always insane, I love you for posting these

this is literally on par with pink floyd, thanks to my Aunt for showing me this when i was little, probably inspired me more than I ever know.

My daughter falls asleep to this video each time she takes a nap, so calming and soothing

I remember watching this when it was brand new and it debuted on National television. This particular song and video is what inspired me to pursue a career in 3D digital modeling and computer graphic arts. Today I wish I had pursued a different career. I earned the degree, but never got a job. My memory of this song, while I still enjoy it, it is a lot more bitter sweet now. 😔

The part at approximately 4:40 when the purple "base line" begins to "really play: is - by far - my favorite in this, my favorite track of them all.. super job. I wish I knew enough about the technical part of this to extract that purple base track... I'd actually BUY it .. straight up

これホント好き... 地球を飛び出して広大な宇宙を旅する時に聴きたい1曲

I've never looked at electricity pylons the same way since hearing this.

I love this song, how good the instruments sound, the amazing animation, and most importantly, the finishing segment starting at 5:13 I give it so many thumbs up👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Most excellent!!! One of my favorite tunes of all time.

This is so 80s prog, I love it

With both lasers going, all the drop towers and base coils.. local towns go dark every friday and saturday night!!

I don't know why, but I feel a sense of catharsis and sadness happening at the same time when listening to this song.

haunting, cerebral, beautiful.

Absolut Top ...... !

Wonderful! I especially love this piece.

ngl when i was little i thought the beam was a pretzel

Truly a divine song/video.

This sounds so similar to Rush's Mystic Rhythms, I love it!

i love these man

This my top five songs out of the whole seires this one number 4. I love the effects and the little green ufo that simtlulate with everything els going also love the switch up with green synth that sounded like guitar. 😮

animusic is literrally my childhood 🫠👍🫧

2:57 instant chills godamn

Hello I'm from the philippines and I love this songs btw and this kinda very nice 3d i've never seen I like it 🇵🇭🇵🇭

I can stop the music that flows through me like God has transformed my soul to 😊 infinity and beyond

Sounds like Rick and Morty was inspired by this in a way, I love this so much

Fantastic sound and great music !

SUPERB.

imho the best track of Animusic... brilliant quality, awesome

Hi! I love this video and song! First of all the colors are beautiful and the song is one of my favorites! I remember hearing this song for the first time and I just thought it was awesome! Animusic rocks my world!😁

My all time favourite Animusic music video. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Мне композиция понравилась. Вслушивался в каждые переходы. Интересно было наблюдать как аккомпанемент подтягивался под соло. Особенно, когда казалось что сейчас будет нарушение гармонии - I liked the composition. I listened to every transition. It was interesting to watch how the accompaniment was pulled up to the solo. Especially when it seemed that there would be a violation of harmony now

when the stagelights hit you cannot but feel goosebumps this is more or less animusic's magnum opus..

FANTASTIC WOW!

This song still gets to me after all these years from being exposed to it in middle school and to realize this was all done by one person this inspired me o play a guitar

When I was 4 or 5 watching this, I used to imagine this animation's set up being built by astronauts xD

so mesmerizing :)

Def my favorite growing up

That Moog phat bass is iconic and awesome to listen to! It's a bit compressed from the YT algorithm. To really get that punch and subwoofer walking across the floor, listen to the CD source.

Eu amo bateria❤❤❤

Awesome

Шедевр !

Ale super 🎉❤

Phil Collins would have been proud.

I think you can save Heavy Light for lest, because its my 2nd favorite song from Animusic and its the finale of Animusic 2 Album.

Крышесносно! И терменвокс огромный!❤

timeless ..!!

My favorite animusic.

Shame we never got to hear the other two hexagons Like why are they torturing me Like dont put them there if you're not gonna play them Driving me insane fr

Wow! So Epic and cool! ❤️❤️😍😍😎😎

The graphics in this are so smooth!

Okay now, this you can't be in the space with while it's playing unless you have a highly protective suit covering your whole body and head.😊😊😊😊

Telsa would enjoy this :P

This one and aquaharp are my 2 favorites from animusic.

awsome
