"They're ALIVE! The instruments come to life on your TV as they play to some great music.



An amazing idea! Great music set to awesome graphics. Think: computer geek meets music freak - they bash ideas around, get serious about the ideas, compose some great music and set AWESOME computer animation to the music.





The music alone plays on our TV throughout the afternoon when my 9 year old has his way. He could watch this DVD and listen to the music all day long.



The tracks are varied in their music style, from stadium rock, to techno pop, to chamber music, and all of the music is tasteful, well written.



The graphics are perfect.



I can't wait for Animusic III!

A great follow-up to Animusic!!!

"I first saw a clip of Animusic on a PBS special and was enthralled! I bought both of the DVDs the next day.

Like the first Animusic, number two takes creative settings and instruments that stretch the imagination to produce a total experience. Not just the music or the performance but the total package.

The graphics are so realistic that I even received a clip of one of the songs via email under the premise that the musical machine had been designed by a team of MIT graduate students for their final project. The graphics are so well done that obviously many folks believed this premise.

It is very difficult to describe what Animusic and Animusic II really are unless you have seen at least a little clip of it. Basically, Lytle has graphically created a musical robot (a different theme for each song) that reproduces one sound or maybe one instrument. He combines all of these robots together to create the sometimes chaotic, sometimes serene, but always tightly assembled piece of music. Seeing what manner he used for each part of the song is like unwrapping a present little by little, layer by layer until the whole is revealed.

If you can, preview the DVD and see if it appeals to you. Both DVDs are similar in premise so if you like the preview, you will like the whole thing. If it's not for you, seeing the whole thing will probably not change your mind. However, every single person I have shared these DVDs with has loved them."

"Bought Animusic 2 for two different sets of G-Grandchildren, for Christmas. They are all pre school age and loved it. Their Mothers said they watched it over and over. I already had Animusic 1 and 2, myself, and enjoyed them, many times."
