Mr. Smalin, do you have synesthesia?

[smalin]

No.

[o0HannahMarie0o]

Have you ever thought about animating Yann Tiersen's work? He has a unique sound that remindes me a little of this, and I think it would be quite the visual treat!

[smalin]

For contemporary music (or, at least, anything contemporary enough that it's still protected by copyright), I don't bother with it unless the composers and/or performers ask me themselves. I've spent too much time going down blind alleys in search of permissions from people who aren't interested in what I do.

I don't want to sound stupid but.......I'm trippin' out man.........seriously. watching this video is making me feel funny. it's not like those other midi video's i watched man, I mean that's stuff good and all, but...whoa...man this is some good shit.

[smalin]

We aim to please.

[mikedressner]

okay this really belongs in a great movie

[freddiecintron]

Beautiful piece. The title is very fitting, I feel as though I'm floating through the air while listening to it.

[booksRbad]

I usually have these playing in the background while I do my work, but this song....every time around 2:50 when those odd off key type notes hit I have to stop what I'm doing and come watch the build up to the end. Brilliant, beautiful....thank you.

[MusicMaestro152]

when you're in this part of youtube, it's actually a good thing :)

[mattman937]

That's what I was thinking.

[o0HannahMarie0o]

Ah, that makes sense, it's too bad contemporary composers don't show more interest in this, it is really intresting way to listen and visualize music. I am always listening and watching your videos, it it such a great and different way to experience my favorite classical pieces. It gives me (and probably a lot of other people) a new appreciation for the complexity of classical composition

[86proofjm]

This sounds amazing, though it makes me feel uneasy.

[orangeandaxe]

IMHO you shouldn't feel fulfilled until you make an animation with "Vltava" by Bedřich Smetana.

[muesk3]

Some kind of minimalism. If that's what you mean.

[JackofOneTrade567]

Love it.
