- More Bells and WhistlesF1
More Bells and WhistlesMore Bells and Whistles was a computer animation created by Wayne Lytle in 1990. Wayne Lytle now owns and operates a company called Animusic, creating music-driven animation similar to the techniques demonstrated in the More Bells & Whistles video. Compared to the newer videos, however, this video is primitive. This piece was created using Wavefront version 2.7. Wayne created it while he was an employee at Cornell University Theory Center. This institution owns all rights to the piece. - Beyond the WallsF3
Beyond the WallsIn 1995 Lytle brought computer artist David Crognale on board to produce a music animation for a commercial client. Animusic produced a 5-minute stereoscopic music animation for VRex, a manufacturer of stereoscopic glasses and projectors. The award-winning stereoscopic version was entitled "Concerto in 3D", while the regular version was called "Beyond the Walls". - Pogo Sticks (Rehearsal)F35
Pogo Sticks (Rehearsal)The band runs through the entire piece in a backstage rehearsal room before going onstage. Each performer is present from the start, rather than being introduced one at a time as in the main animation. The music fades out later on this rehearsal version, revealing a little extra flailing at the end. - Resonant Chamber (Multi-view)F36
Resonant Chamber (Multi-view)The full instrument model is very complex and has many obstructions, making it difficult to simultaneously view all six instrument components. In this special feature, each component is shown in its own window allowing you to clearly see each part, and how they play together. The music begins right after the intro, and is mixed to clearly bring out each musical part. - Cathedral Pictures (Construction)F37
Cathedral Pictures (Construction)The cathedral structure and major instrument groups are faded on one at a time to reveal the construction of the set, concluding with some unusual camera angles not used in the actual animation. For the audio track a distant organ plays the music from Mussorgsky's "Promenade". - Pipe Dream 2 (Wired, Solid, Shaded)F38
Pipe Dream 2 (Wired, Solid, Shaded)The entire music animation plays while cycling through wireframe (see-through), white plastic, and final shaded renders, smoothly transitioning from one format to the next. Midway through this feature, it switches to a 3-way split screen to show a simultaneous comparison of all three render styles. - Fiber Bundles (Mix 1)F39
Fiber Bundles (Mix 1)A unique application of multiple "angles" and audio streams: four different video blends/audio mixes, from a single front-on camera view. In the first three you only hear and see certain instruments. The last blend/mix shows everything combined together like the completed animation. - Fiber Bundles (Mix 2)F40
Fiber Bundles (Mix 2)A unique application of multiple "angles" and audio streams: four different video blends/audio mixes, from a single front-on camera view. In the first three you only hear and see certain instruments. The last blend/mix shows everything combined together like the completed animation. - Fiber Bundles (Mix 3)F41
Fiber Bundles (Mix 3)A unique application of multiple "angles" and audio streams: four different video blends/audio mixes, from a single front-on camera view. In the first three you only hear and see certain instruments. The last blend/mix shows everything combined together like the completed animation. - Fiber Bundles (All)F42
Fiber Bundles (All)A unique application of multiple "angles" and audio streams: four different video blends/audio mixes, from a single front-on camera view. In the first three you only hear and see certain instruments. The last blend/mix shows everything combined together like the completed animation. - Gyro Drums (Quad-view)F43
Gyro Drums (Quad-view)Watch the entire animation from 4 different viewpoints symultaneously. The upper right quad-view window shows the entire rig, while the upper left camera is locked on to the inner core player. The bottom two windows show each of the satellite players. All three player cameras move as if attached to their respective player, so (from that perspective) the "world" seems to move and rotate while the players seem stationary. - Heavy Light (Close-ups)F45
Heavy Light (Close-ups)Wayne Lytle's favorite section of Heavy Light is seen from cameras showing some extreme close-ups of the instruments as they play. As these models were never intended to be viewed from this close, you get a “behind-the-scenes” peek at their structure. - Aqua HarpF48
Aqua HarpAnimusic HD bonus feature of a higher bitrate SD version of Aqua Harp. The room in which this animation takes place is completely enclosed. Its ceiling is painted a dark blue or black with a crescent moon and stars that appear to glow. The room is filled with about one foot of water in which the harp sits right in the middle. Between instrumental refrains, the lighting changes between warm-toned lamps on the wall and cool-toned, blue-ish underwater lights. All of the instruments are connected to the harp. In the background, water gently ripples throughout the piece. Some lights are set on top of the wooden columns. - Drum MachineF49
Drum MachineAnimusic HD bonus feature of a higher bitrate SD version of Drum Machine. Like machines in the factory, the gears rotate automatically to play the percussion instruments. As the drum kit keeps playing, two more kits descend with the control of the chains. At the end of the performance, the gears stop moving. - Harmonic VoltageF50
Harmonic VoltageAnimusic HD bonus feature of a higher bitrate SD version of Harmonic Voltage. This animation's lead instrument is an electronic laser conducted by a tower. Curiously, in this animation, the electronic drums seem to be supported entirely by wires, which act like springs when these drums are struck. - Stage AssemblyF55
