Music available for download and streaming (see below).
NOTE: For improved video quality select 1440p or 4K (even though it's upscaled) as this reduces compression artefacts. If you can't access the higher resolutions in Edge or Firefox, do as follows:

Edge: Type about:flags in the address bar and change "Enable VP9 video format" to "Always On"

Track available on:
and streaming on Spotify etc. Not available on Google Play unfortunately, as that would conflict with the video (since Google like to upload music videos themselves).

Video made in Lightwave and HitFilm Express over a 4 year period (~2 years for music, 2 years for video). Total render time: ~1 year on a 2008 potato and a Surface Pro 4.

Thanks for all the comments!

I would love to see this on a massive cinema screen

[edge]

Why does this feel like he recorded pure imagination that just.. makes sense???

[carykh]

This is like Animusic, but way more cinematic and high-tech! I'm impressed

I am just leaving this comment here to say this *NEEDS* more attention. Chris spent over 4 years on this, i think it needs the attention it deserves. All I’m saying is this man is extremely talented and he gets barely any attention. If you look at some other people they do content that has no effort put into it and gets over 10, 000, 000 views. This needs more views, so I ask you all. Please, please share this as much as you can. Because I must admit, this is better than a sci-fi Pixar film!

The instrumental is what does it

this looks and feels like a intro cinematic of a sci-fi movie

[JustinD]

honestly, if i worked 4 years to make something like this, and it got only 14k views, then i'd give up on everything. this is one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen, and it deserves at least 1 million views. it really makes me sad that this doesnt get the attention it should. you really gotta try to share this further, i wanna see it hit 1 million views at some point!

Edit: I see some people say that this is a wrong way to think, and in hindsight, idk why I wrote the comment like that; I wanted to emphasize how this video deserves more attention, not say that anyone should give up when hard work doesn't immediately pay off (or at least that's what I'd say today).

i just started studying physics and I actually understood some of the visualizations, im mind blown in every way

This is what the term "underrated masterpiece" was made for, change my mind.

[jackrabbit]

This is the type of video that should be the intro to some amazing movie, not just a YouTube video with 60 thousand views.

[Skullbushi]

That moment when you see an upload from one of the channels you forgot you were subscribed to.
It's special

[DoodleChaos]

My mind is blown, inspired, and upset that I didn't find this masterpiece sooner! Keep up the great work Chris you are a true artist!

[thaigo]

This is honestly movie score-level. So rich and layered; classical and modern all at once. Bravo, my dude.

[biltrex]

This is one of the most astonishing pieces of artwork and music I've seen in ages. In my life, I would like to do just one thing this cool. This needs to be nominated for so many awards. This should be trending on YouTube. Let's all get the word out and get Mr. Jones here some much deserved recognition!

[credulousrbt]

This has so little views it's unfair. This has become my favorite video on Youtube no joke. The soundtrack is excellent but animation is also godly

[Joinedjustforthis]

Not that ive experienced it personally but this is pretty much what I imagine people who have 'synesthesia' experience when they listen to music. This is such a beautiful piece of media

[zarkflappysheep]

This is a true experience. It exceeds in all facets that it includes. I can't even imagine what any of this would look like while it was being made its just mind blowing. This is something everyone should see.

[twerkmaster-ynyz]

Friend: you can't see music



Me:

[Kencho]

this could easily make it into a high production movie. absolutely phenomenal work

[Xereoos]

I spent my whole life creating music, and this vfx artist created a masterpiece I would never be able to think about composing. Wow.
