Hey everyone, for those who enjoy the great sound that is Radiohead, then check this out.

http://www.vimeo.com/935317

There is also a link at the bottom of the video that goes more in-depth about the actual software this guy (or girl, not sure) is developing.

Really mesmerizing, and the song is just awesome... In Rainbows is probably my favourite Radiohead albums next to The Bends.

Enjoy

As a freshwater pond enthusiast, I am disappointed (seriously).

I love that song and the vid was cool too , thanks

As a weird animal enthusiast, I am also disappointed...also seriously

but the video is cool in a screen saver or music player visualization sort of way.

Ah yes, Flight404. He's pretty much the king of Processing. He does some very inspiring work.

For those of you who aren't familliar with his work, it's all procedural (in that it's rendered in real-time via code. The music hits are triggered manually, though) as opposed to a pre-rendered After Effects sequence.

It's written in Processing, a language based on java which is made for very quick experimentation and prototyping of graphical applications.

Slum: are you sure the music 'hits' are programmed? I think they're just responding to the audio, but I could be wrong. He's got some nice stuff, although all too often it doesn't amount to much more than a neat visualisation. If only he'd have different scenes or whatever, it could make me actually sit through one of these from beginning to end.

Slum · Jul 2008

Yeah, they are manually sequenced. He does that with most of his music pieces. He has a few blog posts about how it took him hours and hours to manually sequence every hit.

Dunno per, weird fishes wasn't that exciting but *this* was pretty awesome --

I do agree with Per, I'm afraid. I think this is all nice enough, but there's no substance to it. It's just one bit stretches out to the length of a song. I was subscribed to this guys' blog for a bit, but ultimately I was pretty bored with it all. I liked Solar, but it's the same story, really. One cool bit over and over again doesn't make for a cool video, no matter how much work went into it.

Per128, as a demoscene enthusiast I totally agree with you. If you hadn't written that I probably would right now. This just looks boring and procedural with no real input from the guy who uploaded it, I find it boring.

That was cute...

For everyone else disappointed by the thread title...

super_villain · Jul 2008

Thank you vig. Thread has been rescued.

John Warner · Jul 2008

lol hilarious, Vig

Emil Mujanovic · Jul 2008

I have to agree with _Gr9yFox_ that as cool as it looked, it was just the same cool effect dragged over 5 odd minutes. Definitely would be ace as a visualization in a media player.
Thanks for the pics, Vig. The top left pic is awesome! Followed the link and was disappointed that they are man-made and not actual creatures
