[PLUG] Computer + Music

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

I didn't want to hijack Jeff's "linux in the strangest places" thread, 
but it reminded me of:
	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animusic
	http://www.animusic.com/

*Really* cool stuff!  But it's not animated music...  Wikipedia explains 
it well.  It is:
"... MIDI events processed to simultaneously drive the music and 
on-screen action, leading to and corresponding to every sound.

"Unlike many other music visualizations, the music drives the animation. 
While other productions might animate figures or characters to the 
music, the animated models in Animusic are created first, and are then 
programmed to follow what the music "tells them" to. ..."

There are clips on the web site and YouTube.  "Pipe Dreams" blew me 
away, and I really love "Harmonic Voltage", "Future Retro" and "Aqua 
Harp"...

Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
