One day in (I think it was 2003) I was wandering around Wal-Mart in Kelowna when I stumbled upon this [http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=KAvPRbh0jmE&feature=related] video playing on a portable DVD player. I thought it was massively awesome but I never found out what it exactly was. Four years later and meandering through videos of Rune Goldberg on Googlevideo, I encountered something completely different, yet alike.Link [http://video.google.ca/videosearch?q=Acousic%20Curves&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US

My first thought was "This must be that cool ball animation, or by the same people!"
Through a bit more digging, I discovered a great awesome to behold: Animusic.
Animusic is a multiple use name, as it constiutes the name of the company that makes it, the name of it's music videos and the software that generates it, but the most important is the Music videos. Animusic [1 and 2 and soon to be 3] are compilations of imaginative, colourful and wacky animation music video things. I can't say that the music is synced and you'll find out why shortly.
Animusic (Co.) is a New York based software company founded by Wayne Lytle, who produces the animations and created the software. The software itself uses a scene, made a person that has animations for every note and MIDI files are put into the scene, wherein the scene then animates itself. Imagine you making visualizations for Winamp or iTunes with software Pixar might use; that's the kind of thing it is.
To understand better, I reccomend you watch a bit more of Animusic on YouTube.
There are 7 animations in Animusic 1 and 8 in Animusic 2. Both may be a bit 'dry' in the sound which I could not professionally criticize, but the visuals are very impressive for animation that isn't driven by large multi-million dollar renderfarms.
If this naught but an apraisal or simply an advertisement, I certainly hope you actually look into Animusic anyways because in the words of one so popular "There's nothing else like it."
