  This is my favorite so far. To me the character of the visuals seem to get really close to the character of the music. You should try this kind of animation with some slightly slower songs. In the passages with that repeated note, such as 0:10 - 0:21, there is a small visual dissonance in that th...

  When I close my eyes the music is going somewhere, but your animation has it obediently, patiently passing by. What if there was more of a sense that the "camera" is trying to keep up? And I feel showing all the pitches coming makes it seem more rigid and mechanical, why not have the line seemin...

  I think you focus too much on accurately representing aspects of how the music is played rather than how it feels. What if instead of getting accurately measuring the loudness in a technical sense and changed the thickness, you guesstimated it at various points, so the visual loudness was relativ...

  @23GoldenSilver I'm foremost a mathematics student and had little animation experience when I made it, so I'm hesitant to say this is about animation skills. I attribute the success of this video to a good idea, math and physics intuition to make it look natural, the patience to transcribe all th...

  @nos0323 Quite the opposite. I only had access to 3dsmax during a class. There are free 3d animation programs, like Bender, but I haven't looked at them in years and I doubt they have the functionality I needed to make this animation in a reasonably efficient way

  @TrancerB7 Nothing too complicated. 3Dsmax is a 3D modeling and animation software. I wrote scripts that calculated how to get a ball from any given note to any other note, within a given time frame, leaping to a given height, and ending velocity (so loud/soft notes look hard/gentle). I designed ...

@smalin have you ever looked into programming a tool that combines a crude FFT of a sound file with, say, the information about the score from a midi, to automate the process of determining when each note is struck? Or is your problem of a different nature?

  @smalin what do you mean by practice? Is it grueling to get the audio and visuals synchronized?
