h y p e r t u p l e t s presave the upcoming album (out oct.11) here distrokid.com/hyperfollow/sungazer/perihelion

Hell yeah

Protip: make sure the synth and the graphics are in the same key

I love you both! Please don’t ever leave me alone 💧😩💧

dudes this is so sick

Goddamn everything about this rules.

Ah man, this track rips! 🌶️ Also, massive kudos to Ben, sheesh.

I love how this music is so fresh sounding. It is technical AF but not in a "look at my solo" kind of mentality, it seems to prioritize texture and rhythm (as modern music does), but still retains melody, emotion and form (as classical music does). For me it's a perfect balance, it's awesome.

i never realized how good sungazer music was for ben's art style

Confirmed : Ben Levin exists on a different spatial and temporal dimension altogether

No one: 12 year old me using every transition in PowerPoint:

I'm convinced that Ben Levin literally perceives the world in neon CGI.

Damn so beautiful 😍 This is what heaven would sound like if it was coded in Windows 95.

Me: Hey what's the time signature of this song? Song: Yes.

I wish this was an art installation that I could visit and be immersed in throughout a 3-D space.

Before the theory video is out, I wanna give it a try: Song is in 19/16, subdivided in 6-6-7 - a typical „short-short-long“ scheme put to the extreme. But I guess the point of the theory video will be, that the rhythm can also be seen as a slow 4/4 with 19 beats per quarternote (so 19-tuplets, lol), because of the snare appearing on 2 and 4 throughout the whole song (just like in „Sequence Start“). The question could be „what are the biggest practical X-tuplets“ and adams answer might be „probably 19“.

It's like Aphex Twin had a baby with Enya inside of a Nintendo 64. I love it.

Normal boring day in depression : Sungazer : *Prepare Serotonin injection*

damnn peggy !!!

As if the song was not enough to induce a full-blown trip. From now on it's an inseparatable audio-visual experience for me. Everything fits just perfectly.

vamos a la playa

Wow guys. This kind of expanded my concept of music a bit. And the video is super cool too!

By now I shouldn't be surprised by how good Shawn's drumming is and yet every time I am. Can't get enough of it.

Oh my God seeing this one live absolutely blew me away. I've been thinking about this song every single day since patiently waiting for it to drop.

How is Ben Levin both a brilliant musician and a brilliant animator like bro save some talent for the rest of us. Brilliant track btw!

My English professor last semester was a big lover of jazz. Towards the end of the semester all we talked about in class was jazz history and how it relates to African American culture (we were initially trying to relate it to poetry but class sessions ended up just being music appreciation periods lol) Last time I attended his class, my fellow peers seemed pretty burnt out and out of it cuz of finals. So he decided to just end class early while he and one of his buddies (a fellow professor) talked about music. I decided to stick around and join the discussion. It was just the three of us. I suggested this song since I thought he'd find it interesting and he played it for all three of us. The whole thing. We went on to have a really great discussion about other unrelated things for the next hour or so, but idk if I'll ever forget that day. That class period. It was truly something special. This song reminds me of that

I really felt for that cube-based 80's man living in his synthwavy 80's world when the blobs started getting crushed, great job!

You know Ben's cracked when his animations try to depict higher dimensional objects. This universe is not enough for his intellect

This must be the most "math" sungazer song so far. Very good melody, sounds hopeful.

Simon Grove collabing with Adam Neely is not something I ever thought I'd see but I am so glad I did

I have no idea what just happened, but I really liked it.

"no, I'm not high officer" my neurons :

I'd take what Ben's having, but I don't know if I've played enough REZ yet.

Damn peggy…

I don’t know the last time an instrumental track had this emotional and profound an effect on me, this is overwhelmingly beautiful. Thank you.

Just saw Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corp perform a bit of Threshold. Congrats! I hope you get a chance to see it.

This is like vapor jazz, I love it

This is Crowders most impressive tune yet. Usually, I can at least understand what’s going on in a Sungazer tune drumming wise, but until the later snare rolls, I was in the wind. Super impressive stuff, something unique and with masterful musicianship, but that grooves and has an organic lively feel to it. Usually hyper-technical music is also extremely sanitized and lifeless. Sungazer finds the perfect blend of emotion and ability.

Yes. Adam Neely moving the genre along.

This is so goddamn good!

NEW SUNGAZER LET'S GOOOOO

This is what jazz will sound like in the year 3000 so ahead of its time man. Fantastic work from everyone involved

Best ad for Ben Levin's "Blender for Musicians" class, EVER.

this is the very essence of life as a whole

Such a wonderful piece of art. The animation acts as if it is an instrument in the band!

3:57 Way to hit the people with that Léo Delibes quote there boys 🌝

I love the "lo-fi hiphop to study to" chord voicings in the bridge!

Simply blown away by this creativity. Synapses ablaze.

This seriously has my jaw on the floor. Everything from the music composition to the visuals is incredible

It's been a long time since a piece of music made me feel this happy and fulfilled. I was smiling widely while listening. Thank you.

The wheel from THE MIND'S EYE as the ball-generator thing... loving the visual references

I’ve often wondered what 80s and 90s CGI demo aesthetic would look like with modern raytracing, bloom, fluid sims, etc. This is really cool.

this is so so incredible thank you to all parties involved for putting in insane effort to achieve this masterwork!!!

This video makes way more sense to me than most ultra high budget music videos

This is an absolute masterpiece guys!!!!!!!

Can we acknowledge how talented not only the band is. But also bens animation

Gotta love seeing people at the top of their craft coming together to make some GREAT art. What a concept. What a track. What a video. Art like this doesn't come along every day. Very grateful.

0:56 e g g t u p l e t s

Congratulations, you just invented the new genre of Vapor Jazz.

The first six seconds of this have big Windows Startup Sound Energy

I don't listen to much jazz, so I don't have a great frame of reference for this song, but I did enjoy it. I can say with confidence that those drums sound phenomenal! A great performance from Shawn, but credit where its due to the audio and mix engineers.

I really really really wanna see Sungazer live Please please please when the world is safe again and you're going on international tours, could you please come to Liverpool in England for one of the dates? It's the most musical city in the country. EVERY pub and bar has live music every day, pretty much. And hundreds of buskers outside playing music too. All types of genres. There's many many jazz bars. You'd love the city just for its own sake. Liverpool is the closest thing to NYC there is in the UK. That's why John Lennon loved NYC. It reminded him of home I grew up near London but I went to Liverpool for university, and fell in love with the city, and moved here permanently. Everyone who comes here even once says it's an incredible city. And they make it their number 1 mission to come back here again and again

every single frame is a piece of art in its own right

These WinAmp visualizers are getting insane!

Kinda want to cry to this, it gives me that good overwhelming feeling. Just beautiful!

Ben! These visuals are incredible. Such attention to the music, not surprisingly. @Sungazer you guys are pretty okay, too :)

The animation is the culmination of all the things you see when you rub your eyes for too long

This song and animation is the hardest vibe I have ever heard

First time listening to this, for some reason the climax part made me tear up and cry. Thank you. Such a great track.

I'm genuinely in awe at this. It blows my mind that there are people this talented in the world. Both the song and animation are stunning.

Just. The concept of liminality in music. Genius.

Mt soul wants Sungazer concert in VR directed by Ben Levin!

This is such an amazing piece of art!!! Ben Levin really outdid himself with the animation, just splendid. Thanks so much to you three.

I've listened to this enough times that i can hear it in my dreams :D Love your work Adam, Shawn, and Ben! And of course Zac did amazing too always love to see what everyone you include brings to Sungazer!

New Sungazer music made my day :)

Nice. Bout time Sungazer dropped a top 40 pop tune.

That dab at 0:47 tho

Gotta say, that 7/4 in chorus felt strange yet more comforting than during the rest of the song... And also even more confusing... That's really hard for me to gather.

Wow. That wad beautiful. Youve been teaching me music for 5 years and that is the first time I listened to Sungazer. That exploding high chorus line was so exciting.

Pioneering a genre. Absolutely incredible

If LSD was human, it would have been Ben Levin

when i heard the maj7 arp, i thought for sure Andrew Huang had hijacked the session :P thanks for sharing!

The chorus is quite hummable.

Drums adding so much tension

I remember counting for this

Here before all the Bluecoat Commenters

This is and forever will be

Damn. What a trip. Thank you to all involved.

God damn this is good. Animation is polished like something you'd see from a signed artist. And the music is great. You guys have really outdone yourselves, kudos.

Praying for a vinyl release of the album please :P

This is 100% "The Chillout Zone" that used to be on at night on MTV Europe when I got home from working at the disco club

They played this song for us in Detroit! Insane show

What if like synthwave but like on shrooms or something? Well done, all yall. =)

Never wondered "what if Adam stole James Ferrero's Far Side Virtual sound fonts" But now I know the answer.

Ben Levin shouldn't be allowed to be this talented at animation, oh my goodness

And a sungazer fan was made today

This song is clearly named after the GREATEST STAR TREK VOYAGER EPISODE OF ALL TIME, right? The lizard babies

This animation is "if Windows Millennium edition had a baby with Winamp visualizer"

This is the epitome of jazz edm / electronic jazz

I wish more bands used odd time signatures and polyrhythms. It's rare in music to actually hear polyrhythms actually used.
