I am 100% convinced you stole this from an alternate timeline where they didn't stop making animusic. Absolutely fantastic fan piece. It captures the soul of the original works perfectly. Made me feel like I was in elementary school listening to animusic for the first time in music class again.

[@ComputerClan]

This is amazing-probably the best fanimusic I've ever seen. 11/10

[@Aremisalive]

Just watched your latest video, thanks for the recommendation!

Good

[@joelschelp5662]

Correct me if I’m wrong but this would be like the perfect core to a Death Star or music planet.

[@jrbviwiz]

If someone showed me this and told me it was a leaked piece from Animusic 3 I would have believed it, insanely amazing job on this.

[@nixsonhenderson]

Everything about this animation perfectly matches the Animusic animations. I can clearly see all the inspiration from Animusic in the designs of all the instruments/the surrounding models, the way the light interacts with the surroundings, and even the way the camera moves throughout the video. This is like seeing a deceased loved one come back to life. It feels like nostalgia but as if the nostalgia is making one reminisce what is happening now. Like its a memory of what is happening now. I love this.

[@PlotwistInc]

So, when Fiber Bundles and Harmonic Voltage love each other very much, they share a very special hug... Love the aesthetic and the sound, dude. Nice job!

[@PhilipBarron]

And a sprinkle of Aqua Harp and Acoustic Curves as well.

[@jacksonthorn964]

Don't forget heavy light

[@bcastro331]

No ambient glow is better than heavy light.

[@bcastro331]

It Just amazing🥲

[@RIGman0497]

With the background from Gyro Drums!

[@SlyHikari03]

Probably the most Accurate Animusic style fan creation ever. Neat.

[@Spacek531]

I can't believe I missed this. It's so incredible and so undeniably Animusic. The set design, modelling, and camera work really stand out to me - it's patently obvious you have spent countless hours studying Lytle and Crognale's designs and animations. I was very impressed by the floating drumsticks, I imagine a lot of time was spent on those. The strings I felt were a little weak, they vibrated pretty slowly and using the 2nd harmonic. Animusic uses the 3rd harmonic for all their strings, so it was something that immediately caught my eye. It's amazing how far fanimusic projects have come, and this is absolutely the cutting edge. I'm thrilled to see what you have next.

[@Spacek531]

@Sully Pretty easy really, there's an animated diagram that explains it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic#Partials,_overtones,_and_harmonics

[@mysticaxolotl8215]

The future of Animusic is in good hands

[@Halo1Buff]

This feels like it should be a DVD extra on the originals. Amazingly done.

[@KimberlyJordanA6]

About the strings in this video, they're kind of like Aqua Harp and Acoustic Curves, but they glow different colors in the dark. I like it when all these instruments play at the same time.

[@unicornman147]

This is the most Animusic of the fanmade songs. It's perfect in every conceivable way. The instrumentation, the set design, the color palette, and the camera movement are all flawless. If they every do a third Animusic, and I hope to God that they do, they need to have you on the crew.

[@TheAceOfOnes]

Seriously! Someone needs to get them in contact with Wayne, no reason Animusic 3 can’t be finished if this is what a fan can make at home.

[@MrKemmerlin]

WOW!! in my eyes this IS ANIMUSIC 3

[@festivevacancy]

I hope this is the start of something big, This is one form of music that needs to be more known! You nailed the animusic feel and is amaizing. great job.

[@djmoravec9327]

I like how you kept consistency with animusic by making the bass sounds purple.

[@pearlplayaa]

Of course! Can't forget the "radioactive grape juice", as it's called in the animusic director commentary

[@fruitsnackia2012]

the creator of animusic would be proud of this im sure. this is the best one ive seen so far!

[@MarkMeadows90]

A blend of both Animusic styles in one video. Man, this is amazing. Wayne Lytle would be proud.

[@chadbeverly4926]

DUDE GET TO ANIMUSIC RIGHT NOW ! HE NEEDS HELP FINISHING ANIMUSIC 3 ! ITS JUST HIM ALONE ! As fans we got soooo much talent we could save ANIMUSIC !

[@ConfusionCrew]

i'm positive many people have reached out to wayne regarding them contributing to animusic 3, and i don't believe any have been successful. either way, i don't think he necessarily wants help with the creation side of things as he tends to be incredibly particular with his work, so i could see him being uncomfortable working with someone who doesn't completely mesh with his creative visions like dave did.

[@LazerRay1]

Nice to see another group match the style of Animusic both in sound and animation qualities

[@droy47]

You really nailed this. Could easily be on an Animusic DVD. You especially got the reverb on the drums right. The whole music style fits so well to Animusic, the scale you are using is right on. It has that late 90s Manheim Steamroller feel.

[@JonasClark]

"Fanimusic" indeed. I agree that this is from an alt reality where Animusic kept going. Please keep these up!

[@ThatOneHuman125k]

it's like stick figures, acoustic curves, harmonic voltage, fiber bundles, and heavy light all in one delightful package

[@emilyelizabethbuchanan998]

Aqua harp too!

[@Soundwaiv]

When does a new one come out? I can’t wait for it!!

[@LasersLightsandMusic]

[@Cahrssomething]

⁠@@LasersLightsandMusic Cool, this project could really propel fanimusic even past the likes of Animusic 2, as this animation feels like an actual “lost” animusic 3 animation. But remember to take your time ;)

[@zynth_music]

this is astonishing. animusic more or less is back. thanks for brining a part of my childhood back to life

[@mbcommandnerd]

This is AWESOME! When I wrote my comment on your main channel an hour ago, March, I looked through the comments and saw that you told someone else there about this animation being in the works. And when you replied to me saying that it just released 30 minutes ago, I seriously couldn’t believe my luck! The day that the KZbin algorithm brought me to your first animation was the same day you pushed out your second one! All I’m saying is, the timing was incredible. On top of that, this is a combo of about 5 different _real_ Animusic animations: Harmonic Voltage - The drums and the pink light columns that surround the stage. Aqua Harp - The harp on the right side of the drums. Acoustic Curves - The dulcimer on the left side of the drums. Fiber Bundles - The blue and green fiber lights, as well as the purple blobs that serve as the bass and the light-blue lasers that play the main melody. Starship Groove - The inspiration for the stage design.

[@fancypantszakFPZ]

I'd argue Gyro Drums inspired the background too.

[@rozaroven5653]

And heavy ligthts for the blue melody sphere ! There are red in Heavy lights

[@PhilipBarron]

Isn’t the harp on the left side and the dulcimer is on the right side?

[@mbcommandnerd]

@@PhilipBarron The harp is the one getting plucked by those two floating picks. The dulcimer is the one with the hammers. So it’s the other way around.

My only pet peeve is the fade out in the end but this is a stellar job, would love to hear more from you.

Just found this one from the "Full Circle" video. Really great, love the sound, feel, and visuals. My only complaint is that I would have liked to see more focus on the green orb during its solo around 1:48, I felt it was a bit too distant given the dimming of everything else.

[@TyLoudon]

At last, as the society came into its final days, it received a signal back. Project Harmonic Voltage was the end of an Era. An end of a civilization. Project Ambient Glow was a signal received by Harmonic Voltage. It gave a message of hope, of joy it gave a message to the success of Starship Groove! It gave hope for the civilization as a whole. A new power source for the fiber bundles. A new source of power! A combination of all of their projects, finally realized, allowed a civilization to live. Wayne put his heart and soul into Animusic, he fired his signal, his Harmonic Voltage. He was running on empty. His Fiber Bundles were not firing effectively anymore. He became disillusioned with the Project. Like the society he created, he sent out his Starship Groove from the Heavy Light Pyramid. In this case, his Project files, his last bit to remember from his creative space (Heavy Light Pyramid). His Harmonic Voltage was not a cry for help, but an apology. An apology that he couldn't deliver more beautiful music. With one final chance, he fired his Harmonic Voltage into space, and it would take many, many years, but eventually, there would be a returned signal. An Ambient Glow would answer the Harmonic Voltage. Someone else would answer back with a combination of all of his creations, and through them say, "Wayne, thank you for the memories and the good times, we will carry the torch for you from here." The Ambient Glow would stand forever as a message to those from the long lost Animusic Civilization, "Don't lose hope! For you carry the power in your heart! You carry it with you on a daily basis!" Wayne, from all of us Animusic fans over the years, you inspired us to create, to build, to view the world around us differently! Animusic 3 may not be completed, so we will help you. For you see, Animusic 3 was us, the fans. We create Animusic as we go through our days. Ambient Glow is a culmination of all our energy to simply answer back to the frantic signal of your Harmonic Voltage. What is our message? "Thank you, now rest and enjoy."

This is amazing!! I’ve been a fan of animusic for a long time! When they stopped making them I wanted to try to make more someday but it seems y’all have that covered haha I do have one critique tho. Just something to think about. the main lead instrument is the laser. And it’s reminding me of the red lasers in heavy light. But the lasers in here have a lot of reverb and it doesn’t match the quick flashing lights musically. In heavy light, the lasers are quick and dry and the sound cuts off and match musically and visually. And animusic uses this for everything. Crash cymbals, strings, every instrument matches musically and visually with the sound Again great work! Just something I noticed
