That's amazing!

[victoriahennessey]

It's called 'Pipe Dream' and it's from the first Animusic album.. the second is better!

[victoriahennessey]

Please... do a google search for Animusic

[jayzjayz65]

It took over 200 and some odd people to complete this and it also took over 61/2 years to complete. Simply amazing.

i'm too tired to get if people are trolling or actually can't tell that this i cg. if you think this is an actual real instrument you are an idiot.

[1965DCC]

Look again, cookieman .. . this is 100% CG. Anyone who believes it to be real is mistaken. Check with Snopes or any other number of sites that has the actual story behind this very cool video. You might also check with the U of Iowa, which (BTW) does not have a Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall . . .

[deborahshuster]

WOW!  I don't know what else to say! Wow wow wow!!!

[themadcookieman]

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the

Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of

Engineering at the University of Iowa . 97% of the components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft , Iowa. It took a combined 13,029 hours (6.26 years) of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video, It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University. Will go to Smithsonian.

[themadcookieman]

this isn't an animation, it was designed and created by a university and is going into the smithsonian

[042naNotSalmon]

Even though I know it is animation I still enjoyed watching this. It was fun. :)

[Trogidy49]

That would have been too amazing if it were real

[amilcar82]

it is an animation!

[buttmonkey15]

i still think its real.

[soultrain74]

Wow, absolutly nice work!!!!

[amadeus4313]

I used to love watching Animusic on PBS. This is soooooo cool!!!

[italiannessa12]

Absolutely AMAZING!!! I loved this soooo much!!! <3

[lcaptainlcapl]

yeah, if the one horn shooting balls at the drum set even makes sense. that shit'd be off by a shitload

[JamesAffiliates]

Awesome!, now we can set these things up and have concerts without musicians!

[MarkEisenman]

@JamesAffiliates

Yeah, who the hell needs musicians. All that spontaneity, and the surprise that comes with it can really get in the way of perfection. ;-)

Oh, and this is obviously computer generated. But I still liked the video.

[flametomoth]

Really cool to watch...wish it was real!

[homeinbrevard]

Not only an amazing instrument but the thought behind it, timing and knowledge of music is as amazing as the instrument itself.

[JustOneMoreLoon]

@homeinbrevard ....Except this is an animation, not a real instrument.

[rsrproductions]

@graphicdesign80212 Thank you for remembering that for me! I got this in a forwarded email and thought to myself "hey, I've seen that before!" but I couldn't remember the name of it or the DVD collection it was on.

[Walkdabass]

Awesome!

[MrEkadareka]

ABSOLUTLY MAD!!!...LOVE IT...

[MiSsDeHrAb]

wooooooooooooooooow amaziiiiiiiiiiing

[EarthCrone]

I want one!!

[chainmaster406]

Wow thats strange, cool, awesome, amazing, spectacular, clever, unthinkable, and sweet

[apang09]

AWESOME!

[prinia]

fascinating.. Although it must surely be by clever artists - where are all the little "stones / potatoes / whatever" that cause the percussion to occur?

[loadabollocks]

I love that! Where and what is it?

[elekthrasher]

bene!
