[@HappyFeller9918]

The creator of the video died in 2015. In his bio he says he's a radio guy in south Texas, and if you look into it, you can find articles talking about his death and remembering him. It coincides with when he stopped uploading too. What a shame, this was a really good piece.

As far as I know this music was never released commercially. A friend of mine in NYC and another friend of his were putting this stuff together as demo cuts back in the early 90's. This video I made and their music ran on a NYC cable tv show then. My NYC friend is kind of hard to reach at the moment, but I'll email him and ask..might be some old tapes around. JIM

Sad to hear the animator passed away, because this is genuinely impressive for what constraints he had to work with at the time. I'm glad he's gotten the attention he deserves through this video. I do wonder who his "friend" is however, the one he mentioned who created the song accompanying the animation.

[@H4Z4RD5]

Really sucks to come back to this video, years later, to find out Jim is dead :(. Back in 2011 i remember messaging him about being able to hear more of his friends music, and he wanted to see if he could sort something out about uploading it. But i guess it never came to be. Rest in peace.

Years ago when I first heard this I was sucked in by the hypnotic rythms and the surreal visual style. If someone was to duplicate this feel with the commodore graphics styling, the couplet or prose poetry and the eerie post-rock music style; it would have its detractors, but it would create a cult following.

I really don't know. Can you please elaborate?

Linklgas the black hole would be so small, it probably would decay in a few seconds of our time.
