The Future of Mechanical Music
By Jim Katz

Yes, the Kickstarter involvement in Animusic's third CD has spread the
word about these fascinating and talented programmers and artists.
Look up their very first release, "Animusic - Pipe Dream 1080p" on
YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu-A0jqMPd8
Attachment thumbnail In my opinion this is the best they ever did. It has even fooled people into thinking there is a real instrument there and not just computer animation. There is more to it than a cartoon, though. As I understand it (not too well), they have programmed these virtual instruments so that they can actually play them from their computer keyboards like real instruments, and not just the one piece that each plays in their videos. They can mix and match and use them in future videos playing other music. Jim Katz
