Antimatter Raystorm Animusic style Animated Music Video New Age by Jason Ward

Antimatter Raystorm Animated Music Video.
Enjoy the visuals of stunning, vibrant animated instruments as they belt out this fusion trance / new age music in a fun and exciting way. Inspired by the amazing work and talent of my friends at Animusic.
Antimatter Raystorm is my second foray into computer generated animated music videos. Once again I made use of Pawel Adamowicz's MIDI driver pyhon script to bring the music animation to life. All of these magical instruments were modeled, rigged for animation in, and rendered by Blender.
Expect even more amazing animated music videos as I continue to learn more about Blender and become more familiar with MIDI Driver.
Many thanks to ‪@SirGagarin‬ for the python script that made animation in Blender possible and to ‪@animusic‬ for the inspiration to create this video.

I did the music for this video. Thank you very much for taking a moment to watch, listen to and enjoy my work.

[@xheralt]

Someone familiar with the earliest Animusic stuff (before they even _called_ it Animusic!), love it! The nod to Blue Man Group is awesome, too!

[@JasonWardStudios]

And the amazing thing is, those where one of the hardest things to figure out how to animate because of how dramatically they alter their shape when they open and close. It wasn't just simple rotation or movement of a few vertexes.

[@Lunar_.MoonriseXx]

@@JasonWardStudios I am trying to animate a animusic animation!

[@kadenvanciel9335]

Blue Man Group?

[@Orenotter]

I like how you included a "cabbage choir" like the one in Animusic's More Bells and Whistles.

[@redcrystal7579]

LOL cabbage choir!?

[@SpyroFan95]

Just caught the "Drumbone" idea from Blue Man Group too...really cool!

[@Ole4ka.Laaapo4ka]

Мне очень и очень понравилась эта музыка, и мультик тоже. Смотрю за сегодня уже в 4 раз, и ещё хочу. )) Меня зацепил мультик и музыка. Спасибо автору за его труды и творчество ! С УВАЖЕНИЕМ Оля из России. С наступающими праздниками....

[@helenharp6758]

I still love this music and I appreciate it very much and just keep going and I still love it!!!!

[@JasonWardStudios]

@ignitionfive I still remember watching Animusic Pipedream in complete awe. I was blown away by his work. It is a magical experience to be certain! Thank you so much.

[@TERMINALFlamingOcean]

JasonWardStudios you should do a tutorial on how to make these

[@helenharp6758]

I love this music ok?

[@Galaxy2517]

Absolutely incredible!Most of the people in this world can only dream of this level of talent....Thank you!

[@Deny534]

Нечто необычное и потрясающее, так красиво всё исполнено, прекрасная, невероятная музыка. Спасибо 🙏 вам огромное за такую прекрасную и волшебную музыку. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@penguinmaster7]

oooh, you even got the fumps from more bells and whistles

[@confusingTM]

Okay, this one is officially my favorite

[@Victini862]

This is probably my favorite of everything you've made. I love how late i am lol anyways this is a wonderful piece of art

[@pokaboi8345]

mad nostalgia from these videos great work always been a fan of these videos!

[@zaldygaufo5334]

Amazing instruments that can create wonderful sounds

[@Victini862]

I think I'm addicted to this piece. I've watched it like 5 times if not more...TODAY

[@WildStar2002]

Fantastic! 😄 How have I not seen this before? 🤔 I especially like how you imaged that low-synth pulse bass sound 0:55 as a pipe with a sliding section for pitch control. I laughed in delight when I saw it move for the first time. Very clever. Great music also. Love it! 😍

[@frankconnelly8880]

this used to be on that public channel right before the guy that did that star and constellation show,pbs,had this on around 11pm and it was nice to stay up to see before going to bed

[@HotRod12667]

I have an iTunes playlist of Animusic scores. It's on heavy rotation. BTW, I like the rainbow Kalimba.

[@matiasguitar3676]

gotta love those major 7th chords

[@JasonWardStudios]

As simple as it may look, that was one of the more challenging things for me to learn in this animation. Thank you. =)

[@Lunar_.MoonriseXx]

The bells sound like piano

[@MaxTheRealmTC_3421]

@@Lunar_.MoonriseXx haha yes now

[@hammadraws]

Very good. Your the reason animusic still lives

[@LARTEm7374]

Trés belles images numérique et bonne musique. Bravo et merci.

[@michelcarpentier3416]

C'est merveilleux d'écouter une musique qui vient hors de la main de l'homme. Pour ma part c'est vraiment prodigieux. J'ai l'impression de découvrir une nouvelle façon de faire de la musique. Merci pour nous donner la possibilité de faire connaitre ce prodige. Michel.

[@RenzoBuschettu]

C è da rimanere sbalorditi nel vedere e ascoltare i nuovi strumenti musicali.

[@michelelilipus5471]

Formidable technique pour une incroyable musique ! :-)

[@michelcarpentier3416]

Je vous remercie Toutes et Tous !

[@zoecashion4473]

If I had those light-up purple things, I would fall asleep more easily 😴

[@pasky2112]

I never knew such a thing existed, This just rocks! I'd love to see a Satriani, Johnson and/or Vai tune put to animusic... Incredible! Thanks for sharing this beautiful artwork.

[@ProAtFruit]

Also my favorite part is at 0:13 with the rainbow things and what’s sounds like a voice in the background.

[@rubysparrow479]

Truly enjoy each note and anima instrument. Beautiful and inspiring.

[@franceslambert8070]

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Can't wait to hear more!!!

[@JasonWardStudios]

Thank you! So happy you're enjoying it.

[@AllieThePrettyGator]

OMG i love the Rainbow Piano

[@mauvelous1productions]

Awesome work! I like this

[@jessepriesgen8901]

Awesome.If you don't like that, you've got serious issues

[@soladest6009]

This is in E-flat major? I remembered it something like A or E… Also, that secondary dominant F7 is very nice.

[@faainspector9699]

Outstanding harmonies..

[@freedumb2003]

This isn't quite as complex, clean nor fast as Animusic, but it is a heck of a string 2nd bench! And I like the fact ARA brought back the Laser Cannon -- I hope AM remembers that if/when they actually release AM 3.

[@cuteulala1]

Still my fave Jason ward music

[@Ttteogs]

I lake it

[@MaxTheRealmTC_3421]

lake

[@JasonWardStudios]

A lake ta ate, A lake ta ate, A lake ta ate ate apples and bananas! (Like if you remember it from your childhood) =D

[@AquaSerpent9001]

I see you brought the bells and the organ back in this animation. Nice work.

[@Radionut]

Just fantastic! Please do MORE!!!

[@Bigbro28]

I’ve been missing out - I have only just discovered your videos. Thanks for the beaut music on this one. 🐨🇦🇺

[@bostonbakedbeans123]

Very neat interpretation of Animusics stuff.

[@nickmcclaine1642]

mmmmm this hit me in the soul good job.

[@JunmaiShu]

I just love your sound. It's unique, and unmistakably you. And it's a treat to see you posting more videos. It makes my sub box happy. Have a happy holiday season.

[@JasonWardStudios]

It is all those pretty colors... Oooh, so shiny... =)

[@derekhasabrain]

I remember seeing the "xylophone flicker" as I'll call it when I was about 10 or 11 years old and thinking that was such a creative idea, especially right after an obsession with Animusic

[@JasonWardStudios]

Thank you! I tried to be inspired by Animusic without replicating it, although I do admit, those singing choir flowers are a direct idea from Wayne's earlier works before he branded himself Animusic.

[@ember1257]

I was actually just watching that, otherwise I wouldn't have made the connection. Then somehow I went from there, to animusic, to animusic in real life and back to this... My path through youtube always gets weird... XD

[@LilanDeSilva]

The fumps from More bells and whistles! XD

[@Zombiejimful]

still wonderful !

[@ignitionfive]

Extraordinary work here Jason. Anything animated is beyond my grasp of movie making. I have no idea of how it all works. So watching something like this always blows me away. Love the music too. james:)

[@Bigbro28]

I knows what I like .... and me’s a LIKING this! 🐨🇦🇺

[@PapillonOne]

Absolutely my pleasure!! Keep it up. It is entrancingly beautiful!! ♥♥

[@hungthai507]

THANK YOU SO MUCH ANIMUSIC

[@JasonWardStudios]

@JampyKeys Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it.

[@JasonWardStudios]

Oh! It's a Rhodes electric piano sample with full octave (Dual note), called Octarhodes in the Roldand sound library. I love that sound so much!

[@Weretyu7777]

This is an AWESOME video!

[@SailorBarsoom]

That was very good. I truly liked it.

[@christel2846]

Hello Jason,I'm familiar with both Animusic and Blender,great job!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!

[@JasonWardStudios]

Yes, the tubular PVC pipe bass is influenced by the infamous Blue Man Group's "Drumbone" performance. =)

[@TheYoyoman565]

Hey, we are connected by modern plumbing, after all.

[@heinrichdubloon3139]

"Infamous"?

[@armallya]

This is too good to describe in words!

just lovely..

[@DonnieDemonseed1970]

First time seeing this. Very impressive, and such a nice sound. Love it!

[@Adimash05]

beautiful

[@cuteulala1]

I personal think this si the best music you wrote i am like trying to remake this play in real time in a 3d world were users have to program the things they build i think you will have an fun time trying to program moving instruments there were users from all over the world can actualy log into your sim/world to see your creations work :P i use the software OSGrid you can go to the webpage and sign up and then download a viewer to use for it in the download section its free!

[@rayganparksmitchell]

I like the blue things

[@patrickvalk]

omg i love it, the song is really nice, and the cgi O.O

[@King-xz7bc]

It's angels singing.

I just got off the freeway lol I love it

Did you write this music? It is so beautiful and embracing. I listened & watched several times and will again. Simply wonderful. Thank you, I look forward to checking out your other works.

[@bazinjoel214]

génial magnifique bravo

[@ProAtFruit]

Unfortunately I didn’t see this in 2012 like I saw the spider one. I first saw this in late January 2013. It’s great.

[@guitarman856]

that would cool

[@JasonWardStudios]

Thank you! =)

[@TheLazyComet]

13 years later, the visuals are a little dated but the music still holds up. sucks that all the links are dead, but the SoundCloud still exists

[@JasonWardStudios]

Thank you! Yeah, going through a rough patch right now and haven't been able to maintain my website or spend a lot of time working on updating links. Eventually I plan to get it all back in order. But in the mean time, I'm glad you're still enjoying the music! I appreciate your visit and comments. PS: You can find some of my music, including this track, on streaming services such as Spotify and Amazon Music as well.

[@TheLazyComet]

@@JasonWardStudios yeah. i can relate. i listened to the entirety of your SoundCloud in the meantime.

Let's see what we have here: Floppy kalimba Space Fumps Harmonic Voltage's laser Pipe Dream Soul OS (Get it?) Laser Harp Cathedral Pictures' Organs Starship Groove's pentagon drums One of Retro Future's red lasers shooting the bells from MBAW I love this song. You did a good job. (: D)

[@JasonWardStudios]

Floppy Kalimba... LOL! I like it. I call it melody blades, but floppy kalimba has a nice air about it! Great comment from someone who is obviously an Animusic fan. Thank you for brightening my day. =)

[@creeperhead4102]

It's future retro

[@KarlSheen]

wow...thats exactly what i thought!

[@jaytekk9]

Bacony Cakes I get it now pipe dream soul os you mean pipes that shot out the balls in pipe dream

[@GingerSnape46]

Wayne Lytle would approve.

[@JasonWardStudios]

It would certainly be an honor to help produce one of the Animusic scenes and / or musical scores. =)

[@Solarxstorm]

lovely music and great vid

[@JasonWardStudios]

@JunmaiShu Thank you Junmai, your reaction is part of what drives me to keep creating more videos and composing more music. You have a super holiday season yourself. =)

[@daveberie7245]

Looks awesome on an iMAC :-)

[@xXTomokoKurokiXx]

This is a really awesome video, and really awesome song! If I had any criticisms, though, I'd say the layout of it is a bit erratic. If you ever do one of these again, make sure everything able to be seen in one shot.

[@JasonWardStudios]

Hi! Thank you so much. I did do one more after this, and kept that idea in mind. Check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2iah2qtgruoe6c

@@JasonWardStudios Oh yeah, I quite liked that one as well. I really appreciate the response!

i like the green lasers

[@nrdkraft]

*Watches credits* Wait, this was Blender? Even more awesome! Kudos, fellow Blender user! :)

[@JasonWardStudios]

John Medina Yep! Blender is great program, and the MIDI driver script was a godsend. Be sure to look for Steampunk Spiderband too.

[@nrdkraft]

Awesome! Yes, Steampunk Spider Band is awesome, as are you're other pieces! I need to ask, where do you find this MIMI driver script? I'd like to get my hands o it. :)

[@JasonWardStudios]

Nice! An early Christmas present, huh? =)

[@JasonWardStudios]

@vuenu Thank you for taking the time to follow Christel's link to watch and listen, I really appreciate that. I am really pleased to hear that you enjoy this video so much, makes my day brighter. =)

[@Orenotter]

Still love it.

[@KimberlyJordanA6]

Isn't it great when all these instruments play at the same time?

[@JasonWardStudios]

I call it "Melody Blades" or "Instrumental Blades". I would love to make a working prototype some day.

[@burkhardloers3806]

super :))))))

[@hipponations]

Wow, I'm not even going to ask how you did this. Really cool. We do video's on current topics but it's not animated like this, it would be cool to do though. Have a look at our site, it's just starting up Hipponations, leave a comment on what you think. Let me know when your next video is out please!

[@brooke4976]

I just saw that you got it lol I just saw it lol but I’m glad you didn’t know

[@cuteulala1]

I think i put about 70 views on this video haha eveyrtime my sisters daughter comes over she wants to hear this so bad i must buy this for her haha Please jason post ur music on Itunes :O

[@puMa191000]

Is there any link for the credits version? That's just the epitome of 80s-90s nostalgia right there 🤩🤩

[@JasonWardStudios]

Aww, sadly no. I did that little snippet specifically as the credit music for this video. Maybe when I get my music studio set back up some day I can do a full length version. 🙂

[@KimberlyJordanA6]

How about a 4-cam view version of this video? It can help me see all these musical instruments playing at the same time.
