Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is. - Oscar Wilde

I’ve loved the Animusic videos since I first saw them years ago. The technology is a kind of reversal on music animation in that rather than creating the animation to fit the music, the music itself creates the animation.
Wayne Lytle, a composer of progressive rock music and computer scientist, has been creating these incredible music videos since 1995 and, with David Crognale, released the first Animusic video in 2001.
This is the first track from Animusic 2 and serves as notice that the animation is a big step up from the first Animusic video album.
This is a story of caring service and the dawning understanding of its end. Surrounded by a bleak landscape of spiritless routine, curiosity sparks hope.
Film by William Wall.
