Animusic is a content creation company focused exclusively on computer animation of music. Animusic creates original content, such as "video album" DVDs, but have also produced animations for corporate clients such as HP, Disney, and Texas Instruments.
Animusic graphics and music are entirely digitally synthesized. They "invent" imaginary Virtual Instruments by building computer graphics models of objects that appear to create the sound of the corresponding synthesized music track. Virtual Instruments range from being reminiscent of existing instruments to arbitrarily abstract. Check out an actual 'live' Disklavier being triggered and performed in sync with 'Starship' from Animusic 3. From The Hub of All Things Yamaha, The Hub. www.yamaha.com/thehub
