Have you seen the collection of computer-generated animations of music machines? It's showing on PBS right now.

I am in awe of the ingenuity of the folks who made these!

I found a web site for these guys!

http://www.animusic.com/

That's really awesome!!!

I love Animusic! My sister and her husband showed me that stuff a couple of years ago. Oddly enough, yesterday I was at Best Buy doing some Christmas shopping and found Animusic 2 on one of those carts they push around to stock shelves with...snapped it up. The first time I saw the first Animusic I thought it was real machines programmed to do that stuff, until I saw some of the stuff that was obviously CG, like floating things and stuff. My favorite is the Pipe Dream stuff, with all the balls flying around hitting stuff...looks completely random but makes perfect sense at the same time.

Yeah, Pipe Dream is really amazing. They had to program the little gizmoes to get launched at the right time so that they'd hit their targets at just the moment they needed the musical note. Totally awesome!
