Custom Content

The ANIMUSIC production team spends the vast majority of its time producing original content and doing technology R&D for next generation projects.

On a limited basis (generally once or twice a year), we may undertake side projects. Usually these involve custom-format rendering of one of our animations (e.g. an HD or special ultra-high-res render of Pipe Dream, etc.).

These tend to be for corporate clients such as HP, Texas Instruments, Disney, or ATI, and involve sizable budgets (at least 5 figures).

While there are so many cool bands and interesting ideas out there, our limited resources preclude us from pursuing many side projects such as those often proposed by musicians and bands.

That said, if you have a substantial budget and would like to discuss a custom project, please email Greg Flores, business development:

Kansas DVD

In 2002, we produced a couple of one-minute custom animations for the concert DVD from the legendary band Kansas entitled Device Voice Drum. . . .

The band recorded a live concert for the DVD and chose to animate the instrumental middle section of "Miracles Out of Nowhere" (from their Leftoverture album). Following the show, vocalist/keyboardist Steve Walsh transcribed to MIDI each note played by each instrument in the band (for that 1-minute segment). This MIDI data was used to procedurally animate a unique group of instruments to play that segment of the song.

Additionally, Walsh had composed an instrumental show-opening piece which was also animated by Animusic, driven from Walsh's MIDI data. After viewing the animations a number of times, Kansas decided to use Animusic's artwork for the cover of both the DVD and audio CD (an unexpected surprise).
