Progressive Metal Album Synemotion on Next-Gen 3D Music Visualizer

I was searching through old and new music visualizers in order to replace just having the album cover play on YouTube for the album, Synemotion.

One next-gen 3-d music visualizer has pretty interesting effects and that was APEXvj. It might be that the graphics are so well done or the algorithm, the Finnish programmer, Simo Santavirta used. But it seems he found a “way to detect these rewarding moments in a song and to use them to add visually stimulating components at the right time.”

As he states on his website:

“According to several studies, when you listen to music your brain is wired into an anticipation-reward mode. It’s sort of like humming a song and waiting for specific sound patterns to emerge.

When they do, or even better, when an unexpected pattern surprises you in a positive way, your body rewards you by producing dopamine. Dopamine makes us happy, creative and motivated!

The intended result is to strengthen the dopamine producing effect when we experience music.”

His technology is browser based using WebGL in Chrome and it was very easy to test out the songs because the development uses the Soundcloud API.

It was quite difficult to get the visuals into a video. But, of course this app is not for making videos but for “real-time” VJing or live performance.

With a few trials and errors and quite a few capture software programs, I believe this is a somewhat satisfactory result, at least something for your eyes as well as your ears.

Here are the videos from YouTube:

SOUND OF CONTACT’S ORIGINAL MEMBERS HAD REUNITED & WORKING ON A 2ND ALBUM!!

     THAT’S RIGHT FOLKS!!!  

     Since their AWARD WINNING DEBUT ALBUM, ” DIMENSIONAUT, ” appeared in 2013, it was their Frontman, SIMON COLLINS, who had combined MUSIC & OUTERSPACE, to this MASTERPIECE.  

     It was confirmed that DAVE KERZNER and KELLY NORDSTROM, had REUNITED with the band, and WILL WORK ON A FOLLOW-UP ALBUM, due in 2016.   

     READ MORE ABOUT IT, ON THIS PROG MAGAZINE LINK:  http://prog.teamrock.com/news/2015-04-22/dave-kerzner-and-kelly-nordstrum-back-in-sound-of-contact

     AND N0W, A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE, from SIMON COLLINS:  

” Many thanks to PROG Mag for the article and announcement regarding our big news! It feels like the Universe is on our side, and I am grateful to have this brotherhood back together again. “

 

     ” I wouldn’t have had it any other way, we all deserve to give each other another profound and life changing experience in being together to make the music that we know can only be made as a real band. Congrats again lads and welcome back, this time we are going back to where it all started on many levels….you’ll see you’ll hear. “

 

     ” Thank you to all of our fans and friends for your ongoing support throughout the ups and downs, to me, you are all selflessly why I believe this band is back together. Being back together was and is to me the only way this band should exist. To have replaced anyone moving forward to write and record defeats our collective musical and grand cosmic and spiritual chemistry and connection. ”  

 

     ” Making music on a scale on which we wish to continue sending out vibrations of love, hope, passion, truth, universal understanding in the genuine authentic creative process. Nobody else can replace this collective, and it remains the reason SOC continues to exist. “

 

     ” We are back to together again for many reasons, but one very big one is for YOU! “

 

You all have my Love,

SC
