ok lets try to build it

Fun fact: The guy who created this, Wayne Lytle, wrote custom software that allows you to rig up the 3D instruments and plug in notation in the form of a MIDI file. The instruments would then animate themselves according to the notes written in the file. That means every note is 100% accurate and the instruments are not being animated to the music, but rather the music is animating the instruments.

Every now and again, animusic pops back into my head and seeing it look so clear and clean is truly like seeing it again for the first time in kindergarten music class, it's wonderful!

Ah, yes...the only Marble Machine that plays music as tight as Martin wants. 😊

As a percussionist, I can confirm that we chuck marbles at our instruments to get them to play.

I remember stuff like this. IMAGINE...all the hours of design...all the hours of encoding the animation. Just the CONCEPT...the layout...the level of imagination it took to do something like this...WOW !!!

I used to love catching these randomly at night on PBS back in the day

A real blast from the past.

Only legends remember this from elementary school music class

Whoever did this will forever be a legend. This is pioneering 3D physics and the fact every single hit and note follows the pattern 100% perfectly and realistically is beyond unreal. Honestly? I think one day this will remembered as one of the greatest creations of our time. This is the Mona Lisa of 3D animation. Edit : the music itself is remarkably interesting as well!

What i really love aside from the music is the specific visual of the scuff marks where the marbles have hit the percussion instruments. They only hit one place and its marked like that permanently

This is one of the best things ive ever randomly stumbled upon on YT. Not only did it bring back a deep memory of the original Animusic, i'm beyond impressed at how accurately you recreated the animation AND musical arrangement style of the original.

The animation is so realistic that initially, I truly believed it was real! The music reminds me of a Crash Bandicoot level. Sick!

Amazing as it was several years ago when I first heard it. I bought the music then and am still amazed!! I am a great-grandmother with 7 grands. I share unusual music with the parents to share with the young ones. I have discovered KZfaq and love it!!!

I remember when these demos were new.....and they were absolutely mind blowing! And they are still rather beautiful even now.

HOW THE HECK DID YOU REMASTER THIS?!?! IT'S SO CLEAR...and so BEAUTIFUL!

I saw this years ago and it never ceases to amaze me. I love all of the animusic, always fascinating and just plain awesome!

this one blows alotta nostalgia at me

Wow this is throwback to my childhood! I used to love this, and upon stumbling upon it again I remember why. Something really satisfying about it, especially after finding out all the notes were actually accurately paired to the animation via MIDI. The whole thing is really impressive, especially given the age of it now

СУПЕР!!! Это можно слушать постоянно и глаз не оторвать!!!

2:12 This was my fav moment when I was a child. And it still is. So nostalgic...

i like how at 3:16 you can hear the song end with the same bass/drum note as the song starts with, such a perfect way to loop the song on itself

This video is, I believe, from 2001. So from the ancient times, when we were downloading stuff from the internet with an ADSL modem. With internet speeds up to 2 Mb/s (but no one could afford such fast lines, mere mortals had 256 kb/s, 512 kb/s lines). And we were burning that downloaded stuff on a CD (if one was lucky to have a CD-ROM with a burner. And then we would carry the precious CD over to friends to share music, funny videos and pics with them. Alternatively, we would use an HDD in a carry tray ...risking dropping it and destroying the drive. And the precious content, that took hours and days to download.

I remember first watching this on TechTV. Those were the days.

I was obsessed with Animusic 1 and 2 as a child. I still watch them frequently. This was always my favorite. I was so sure it was real as a kid.

I can't believe I found it. I thought this was something I imagined in a fever dream. I had the tune stuck in my head for months

first time i saw it on PBS, i was blown away. seeing it in 4k, and able to see the small detail such as small indents where the marbles have hit on the symbols, or the markings on the xylophone where they hit.

Wow, I was just searching for a speaker stereo sound test... and found this wonderful art! Stunning!

"so why do you need 2000 pvc pipes again?" "uhh, its complicated."

Music classes, 4th grade, teacher would roll out that ancient CRT screen that had a bit of fading to it, the DVD reader sounded like a jet engine at full tilt, the speakers were old and occasionally crackled, she'd slide a DVD into the reader, it had this wacky design of what looked like some bendy sticks on it, you wouldn't think much of it until your ears were graced with the sounds and your eyes were graced with the visuals of *Animusic.*

Ive always been a fan of upbeat jazz pieces like this one.

The magic is that this is great to both listen to and look at.

jeez didn't think I would ever see this in high quality

Спасибо автору за эту чудесную музыку, она помогает мне засыпать😇😇😇

I was there when ATI 9600 Pro comes out. I was there, 3000 years ago.

Oh, I’m hurt knowing that this video was this long ago I feel so old😢😢😢😢😢

I know the precision required to make this in real life is physically impossible, but I like imagining that it could be made.

By far, my favorite Animusic film!

i’m totally blown away by the quality of your content!

Oh, the physics and the timing! I love this so much! And the tune is already great all by itself, but seeing it like this is just so wonderful. This is what I was thinking when I was bouncing a ball in a gym and then on the wall. I just thought, I wish I had more arms and balls!

Thank you, so so much! I am glad to see others haven't just forgotten animusic or aren't just still watching but are actively making content and nee stuff off of this old beautiful gem. Thank you P. S. You are really really good at this!!

yeaaahhhh totally remastered and not just put into an ai at all, i reallllllyyyy like how the marbles are smeared in Vaseline

thanks KZfaq i was looking for this vid since i was 8

It's videos like these that really make me wish Animusic 3 would happen (even though it probs never will).

Truly wonderful, which cannot be expressed in words. It's a beautiful music.

Wundervoll,innovativ,bitte mehr davon,ich bin begeistert 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌷🪻🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈😍

こういう綺麗で細かいけど少し古さも感じるCG初めて見た…好きだ…

Cool, so nice very nice. Yes, I love it. 👍😍❤️👌

СУПЕР!!! Это можно слушать постоянно и глаз не оторвать!!!. HOW THE HECK DID YOU REMASTER THIS?!?! IT'S SO CLEAR...and so BEAUTIFUL!.

Lots of nostalgia. I've been listening to this since Kindergarten

This takes me back, i remember this coming out when it was new, super rad to see its still around

I remember seeing this in music class as a kid and being inspired to make something like this in real life. All it took was a lot of marbles, a chair, a pool noodle, a basket and a toy drum.

that xylophone part at 1:09 gives me some serious Donkey Kong Country vibes

これ作った人は天才ですね。すばらしいの一言です。

Totally brilliant. I loved it years ago. I’m so glad to see it back again.

This has awaken a deep memory hidden inside me

Yes! Finally HD! This is great! Also, this is still better than the real life one they tried to make. Good effort for them, but OG Animusic gets the groove going

Fantastic job. CGI gone wild with sound!!!

Still feel like this is 30 years ahead of its time and its almost 25yrs old

jeeesh im tripping or smth rn this is crazy as hell holy crap thats amazing

Someone gotta get all of the smartest engineers in the world together and make this in real life

he is a musical genius. How wonderful

The trick is to get the balls to go back into the tubes to replay them again. Amazing created music. Take care.

Thanks for remastering this! I'm a music teacher and I still enjoy showing this one, for starters anyway!

I remember seeing the original playing on some Alienware at Best Buy and I was just in awe.

Years when we downloaded and archived the videos on the computer :) When it was first published, many people thought it was real. It's still beautiful and now my son is watching it too.

Extraordinariamente hermoso! Gracias! Bendiciones infinitas!😊👏🙏💞

I have been watching animusic for 1 year when i was 3 years old and im still a fan of it even tho i havent watch it since 6 years ago

This and Acoustic Curves were my all time favorite of Animusic!

Hello from India 🇮🇳

Still a banger after all these years

Dude you are a fucking legend for making these 4K 60fps. NOW I CAN WATCH THESE ON A GIANT SCREEN! I love you man. You are a gift from god himself

Why is it that actors get paid millions of dollars and people who create wondrous things such as this don't. Our society has such ludicrous notions on assigning value and worth to something. This is fantastic!

I bought both DVDs. This is great ShTuff 😄😁

This is the quality we saw in our childhoods

와 이거 20년도 전에 고등학생때 출처도 모른채 우연히 보고 너무나 맘에들어서 수백번은 돌려보던 영상인데 이게 이렇게 뜬금없이 내 유튜브 알고리즘에 뜰 줄이야!! 너무나도 반갑고 여전히 신기한 영상이네요!!

The world of Animusic was built on two things. Rhythm and processes. And people would argue that the Pipe Dream Prototype project was an example of just that. A test to see if the world of Animusic would be built on the elements used in this very piece of magic. But, somehow, someday, the project shut down, only to be restored in the archival documentations of Animusic multiple years later. How the project continued after such failure? No one knew. The only thing people know was to jam to this piece of childhood.

Love it!!

FANTASTIC GRAFIC COMPUTATION!!!

I've been looking for these for years but searching animusic usually just pulled up AMVs. Thank you for not only uploading these, but upscaling them as well.

I like how the circular xylophone just finished expanding at the very fraction of a second the first marble hit it 😂 1:04

This is awesome. I hope future music teachers will show their students these remasters like mine did with the originals.

I'm lucky enough to have 2 DVDs of this music. I got them many years ago.

This came with the ATi Radeon video cards in the 90s. It would render all this in real time. Ah memories….

Martin of Wintergaten once said that the original Animusic was his inspiration for the Marble Machine.

Imagine turning this in as your digital animation final and getting a D+

i remember this from elementary school😞😞

I watched this all the time when I was younger and I still do

Unreal. I bought the animusic CDs when they first came out. Now here they are "remastered!" I feel old now.

Still slaps in 2023

How on earth did you manage to remaster this? The quality is exceptional!!!

Bro..this is insane..

Who ever made this, he, or she is very, VERY talented and creative! This is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard in my whole life! And every parts that connects are also very good and very interesting.

Does anyone else notice that the beginning kinda sounds like the beginning of Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 6-9) by Pink Floyd? I notice that there's a wind sound effect, and the buildup from just one note into a full song, just like Shine On You Crazy Diamond! I find that kind of neat. Edit: Now that I think about it, Pipe Dream 2 is even more similar! The buildup is more similar to SOYCD, and pretty much everything reminds me of SOYCD! Until it gets to the glockenspiel part, from there it starts to differ a bit more. You really should listen to Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 6-9), it is a masterpiece and definitely should be listened to more often! Parts 6-9 are better than Parts 1-5 lol

I need a game where you can make some crazy machines like that and play music sequences with them

when i was 13 this was the coolest thing i had ever seen

Awesome Music.

Animusic

2023 this is Still a banger

Certified hood classic
