Every since finding this channel I have been fascinated by this genre of art. I feel like the music and the visuals produced by said music are indescribable in terms of the real world. I remember being young at school and tasked to draw what I thought the music was doing as we listened and I could never have imagined this is what is possible given the right frequencies and order of said frequencies.

Listen man, my jaw is on the floor with every video you upload, that much is obvious. The amount of oneupmanship against yourself is inspiring. You just pile on awesome every new scene. Building and building that experience until everyone's mind is blown. Loved the meta of the carthesian axes, awesome callbacks to your previous video's with the springo's and the bouncing balls, amazing work on that hilbert curve, and my mind was absolutely blown when that curve got bent into a sphere. When people say "audiovisual experience" there's only one person I think of, and it's you! Here's the thing; This wasn't what I wanted to comment initially. First and foremost, you uploading video's makes me happy not only because I get to get my mind blown, but also because it's a confirmation that you're alive, and receptive to commentary. You deserve credit and appreciation for your work. I'm happy you're alive. That's the most important thing.

When I was a kid I had to stay in the hospital a long time and fell behind in math because no one was there to help me , and eventually I thought I was just bad at it because that trope that women were bad at math /excelled in social sciences +bio/chem was widely believed so I believed it too. After watching this and learning how it works with the explanation video, I’ve decided to teach myself again beginning after basics and going into advanced. It was a self fulfilling prophecy I was put in as a kid, but I know all it takes is work and I am fully capable . I have a fucking degree in biochemistry. I’m not letting this hold me back anymore. I missed out on working in physics because of it. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Been working on the music industry for years as well helping a techno label manage artists and I’m going to learn how to make music finally.

Thats really 4D Chess.. not only are the soundwaves directly generating the image but the image is also visualising the composition directly. The animation is also really good, especially the bouncing ball. Sound design is amazing. Einfach nur gut!

[@Mikle_Bond]

I still can't even imagine what computational trickstery is used to generate these. Every video starts with a thought "okay, maybe I could sketch something like this in blender, and map to sounds in python..."

I think that this music genre is possibly the smallest and most unique genre of music, if it's even a genre.
