The ultimate video to watch when you're stoned lol. He should have explained what's on this video's description. He wouldn't have gotten as many dislikes that way

stupid shit.

Can I ask, "what the hell is this?" Not in a rude way... In a "I have no idea what the point of this video, can somebody please explain?" way.

@aliendogbrain Ooops... MLITBOG I mean.

@mingleong I bought the LP in 1981... then later bought the CD in the 90s. To this day MYITBOG remains one of the greatest and most haunting works of all recording history. My wife says King Crimson is boring too, lol.

Jakob trolled me, so I trolled him back.

Hans Richter did similar work 80 years ago during the Dada movement.

Trollback is a genius, and huge contributor to the field of motion graphics and kinetic typography. I cant believe people attribute his work to the simple visualizations of basic media players. The directors of the TED conference dont just let anyone lecture after all.

Animation was decent and the song was actually pretty kickass.
This would sound much better live though. Just imagine that bass messing with your stomach...
-
the song itself was already boring
I think this is the first TED talk I've watched where my reaction was "Meh..."

Based on this short clip, it appears that Jakob is ignoring the past 100 years of such experimentation.
For example:
Scriabin's color organ, Oskar Fischinger's abstract animations, and Microsoft's downloadable music visualizations.
What did Jakob contribute to this already-rich field? Something? Anything? It'd be interesting to see more of this talk, in order to get an answer to this question.
