Halcyon - Chimera (demoscene, 2002) (HD)

Consider this a dark ambient music video. Lights off, subwoofer on if you're gonna watch it for real.

Less generally, this is a video recording of an audiovisual show that runs on Windows PCs. The original can be downloaded here: http://www.scene.org/file.php?file=/demos/groups/halcyon/hchimera.zip&fil...

Bonus: pixel-perfect 1080p X264 video download--

Nerdy details about this capture:
I took the liberty of replacing the 64Kbps MP3 with the 128Kbps netlabel release of the same track for better audio quality. This video was recorded in 1080p RGB, then upscaled to "4K" resolution, and then encoded/uploaded. Due to the nature of digital video (specifically, chroma-subsampled colorspaces) and the stark red color of this video, watching in "4K" ("Original") is actually preferred on a 1080p monitor for a near-pixel-perfect presentation.
