Another in the series of bizarre instrument animation. The video previously blogged was from the same animation company ‘Animusic’. These guys are really good at what they do. More info at www.animusic.com

Although the blurb for this video states that is an actual real instrument, it’s pretty damn obvious that it is CGI. Still, nice tune and nice idea.

Hoje em dia não existe mais desculpa pra quem não sabe tocar instrumentos musicais. Além do acesso a eles, é possível aprendê-los em casa no seu próprio computador. Para quem gosta de tecnologia e é criativo, pode aprender a tocá-los digitalmente. Como fazer isso? Bem, pode ate parecer impossível no primeiro momento, mas existem infinitos programas na Internet que auxiliam na montagem de vídeos, o Flash é um deles. Você pode montar sequencias digitais dos seus instrumentos favoritos e montar uma banda digital. É trabalhoso e exige tempo para isso,  porem se você souber o mínimo de música e de instrumentos, mesmo que teoricamente, você consegue montar partituras e, com efeitos, eleborar um vídeo bem feito e postá-lo no Youtube para amigos e até profissionalmente.

Coloco a disposição um vídeo feito por uma equipe da Animusic:

An amazing drum piece from the makers of Animusic.

Animusic always makes me want to go compose. And work on CGI stuff, what little I’ve had time to learn.

There is so much going on, yet so little to be proud of. Here are some wheels I am spinning:

1. Proverbial Wheels. I have a work project that I am probably just two hours away from finishing, but my biggest problems are always the first and last ten percents of any project. Besides, I can’t really work with people around me, and Filly is awake. It would be one thing if I could zombie her out in front of the television set, but she’s watching a very distracting movie: Animusic. Specifically, she’s totally into a single track of the thing, and because she had a very high fever last night and was kept home from a birthday party this morning, it seems only fair to indulge her, so I keep getting up out of my chair to restart the video every four and a half minutes. I would even then get tired of it, but she’s singing along and naming the instruments and talking to them as they appear. So you can experience a little but of what I am experiencing, I am thoughtfully sharing the video with you:

Getting up every four and a half minutes isn’t as bad as it sounds, because the DVD player is on a shelf above the TV that I can reach from our dining room half-wall, which is next to the table I am sitting at. I just have to lean over and touch the button when I hear the menu screen come on.

2. Disc Drives. I have been trying for a couple of days now to make a backup copy to my hard drive of a damaged Pixar Cars DVD. I’ve been checking out versions from the library in pursuit of the elusive file VTS_10_1.VOB. I don’t know what it is about that file–it’s got the stuff from where Lightning McQueen has a tire blowout in the first race and jumps to the beginning of the road trip, with maybe every fifth frame and the sound all out of synch. It must be where the file lies on the disc; maybe 2/5 in from the center is a high-collision area. If any of you out there have the CD, I would love an email with the file attached. Just the one. It’s a big one, but not excessively so, I don’t think. The DVD would spin in one drive and the hard drive would spin to keep up with it. There was a lot going on.

3. Stroller Wheels. We took a walk today to the local taco shop for efficiency’s sake. Fella and Filly wanted a walk, but they also wanted a snack. It seemed like the most expedient solution. Also, it’s downhill coming home and we pass the local self-serve yogurt shoppe, which is run by a local family. It’s a Greenie’s wet dream, to put it crudely, as well as an excellent source of Sno-Caps. Husband and I are trying to calculate if there is enough hot fudge sauce within county lines to fill the place. I think yes; he thinks no. What we need are the measurements of the shoppe to calculate volume, and the average number of hot fudge containers that a yogurt shoppe keeps in stock. Plus there are all those grocery stores with their ten ounce jars of the stuff on the shelf… it ought to be possible to get reasonable estimates and determine the answer. If I’d had my purse with me I’d have had my measuring tape–yes, I keep a measuring tape in my purse, especially since all the kitchen measuring has been going on–and we’d already have the store volume.

4. John Adams DVD. I’m on Part 4, which ought to start after the war ends. Don’t tell me anything! I don’t want to know what happens. That’s another disc spinning, of course, but it will be accompanied by wine which, if the mood is right, will set the room spinning. It’s a South American red wine, a Malbec from Vinas de Vila in Argentina. The 2005 is very well regarded; we have a 2008. I’ll keep you posted.

Eine beinahe Majestetische Musikanimation aus dem Hause ” Animusic” .

It’s odd to try and define, as it’s so many things to so many people. I’ll use stereotypes to explain (remind me to write a post on stereotypes):

I am something of an observer of life. I see and hear and make sense of everything going on around me. I ask questions, I probe deeper into things. Occasionally I get the proverbial smack on the nose, but it never stops me. I physically explore. I love to be in places that no other human has ever been in. Or, if they have, the story of how they got there. Unique. Different. 

Anyway. Music.

Soul. 

This word comes to mind. A musician pouring soul into his instrument and playing it. His emotions coming out in beats and rythms and harmonies. I saw a piano recital one time, and there were two students playing exactly the same piece. One played it note perfect, exactly how it was composed. Precise and cold. The other made mistakes, but he played with emotion and soul. He won. Even though he made more mistakes, he won. 

Now, that’s judge based as well, but it raises an interesting question. Is soul required to make music? 

I’m a fan of Animusic. It’s computer generated, and animated music. There are no humans really involved, other than pushing a few buttons to get it set up (I realize they have to make the 3d models etc, but I’ll simplify). 

As there are no humans actually playing or performing, there is no soul, correct? But it’s music. It’s still toe tapping. It’s still catchy. I particularily like (I like all of them) Pipe Dream and Future Retro (did I mention I liked all of them?) But, to raise the point, there is no soul. 

So is music about soul? Or simply notes? Played in order, with emphasis?

I think I’ll make a sequal post to this eventually, to elaborate further, but it’s nice to write down semi-complete musings while I have time now. 

Until next time.

Voted as one of the fifty greatest 3D animation projects by the 3D World Magazine, Pipe Dream (off the first Animusic DVD) certainly lives up to its billing. In the sequence, a group of percussion instruments perform music by way of …[More..]
