nice concept. would have probably worked better if the colors of the lines were tightly related to the tones.

Wonderfully out of the box!
That said, I don't know if it's me being too specific about production style but I felt the cleanliness + high degree of detail of the visuals contrasted too much with the "raw" recording of the music performance; maybe a bit of post-production on the audio (a bit of EQ, a bit of reverb, a bit of stereo control) would've made it fit better.

From now on if anyone asks me whether demos can be art, I'll point them here first :)
Video please ;-)
Feels like a prequel or sequel to one of my favorites demo of all time, the seeker ! :)
With tremendous work, this could be crunched into a 4K right ?... Did anyone code a *good* and tiny piano synth ? :)

Reminded me of The Seeker..
different :)
Unusual experience, but i liked it anyway.. Nice Piano track and very beautiful visuals!
Nice in every way.
Boring, lame "music".
Super
superdemo ruined by horrible piano pling pling
the soundtrack sounds rather 'midi' imho (there's little subtlity in timbre and in overal production) and the piano worm visuals got boring fast
My favorite of the whole Evoke-felt like a segment from Disney's Fantasia
Feels like a really strange Seeker sequel, and looks and sounds nice :)
fantastisch! (should have won)
Should have won, was a blast !
wow
beautiful, my personal 1st place from evoke.
yup its def a seeker sequel style prod, and i love it
music approach is fresh but a little too minimalistic for my taste

This was missing a bit of the elegance I would've hoped for, some of the movements are too sharp and pop-like to keep up the synergy. Also on the color side a tad gloomy for what I got out of the audio. Despite all that, loved it. Grats for once again expanding your comfort zones :)
Awesome !
Nice little demo.
I really like the fact that you took a path of just doing an experiment, basically playing with the form.
And the effect (for me) is exactly like this: playful, light, easy to watch.
On the other side, obviously there is nothing really new there, as it is very close to Anjyu (from 2001) in spirit. Still, should it always be all new and unique? Should a demo always shout "look how good I am"? I don't think so.
So, even that you are not using an original music score, overall, a thumb up. Thanks for reminding us yet another interesting direction to go.

Those damn french composers.... :)
Debussy's always an awesome choice

Hmmm, could even have been a tad more pretentious with a song of Satie :)
Thank you for having the the audacity to use a classical piece as a demo tune. Wonderful demo!
I'm not a die hard classical piano music listener, but the music fits the visuals perfectly, fantastic syncing work between audio / visuals. You have created a very special mood that is unlike other demos from the compo and therefore it stands out as a unique piece of art. Well done!
It was a real pleasure watching this at evoke, thought it will get first.
O_o--b
Very nice, especially the last note :)
a very nice contrast to all those bass-driven demos, thank you!
Looks as good as I expect coming from Still.
Nice hearing something else than electronics for a change, but this doesn't unfortunately connect with me at all. Love the visuals, love the music, forget the demo...
@preacher: Interesting. What do you think is missing?
Loved this!
good one
I don't really know if I can put it into words. There's something in the fast movement of the scales in the song that don't translate synesthetically inside the visuals for me. In the beginning the camera feels like an observer and not a participant, and I have a feeling that what should be the focus is happening somewhere off-screen. The slower part that starts around a minute works better, because it's slower and the notes sustain longer. Maybe I associate the individual ribbons with the individual notes or something. Then, in the last part, the motion feels slow again against the "plentitude" that's in the music. The music goes forward so much but the visuals feel like they're dragging behind. I'd absolutely love this with an ambient track, but now it feels that the music is running in circles around the ribbons.
@preacher: wow, this is probably the most comprehensible feedback I've got for ages. Thinking about the camera as observer vs. participant is a cool concept. I guess my the original plan was to have the camera stand for the "piano teacher" and the ribbons for the "young student" that climbs stairs of mastering the piano. And yes - that the camera sometimes can't follow up with the crazy action is more or less intentional. But most of the time I just couldn't get the camera under control. I guess motion blur would have helped. And syncing the ribbon-colors to the notes. But the camera-animation is the actual problem. Alex fixed it quiet a bit, though.
Well, I guess doing camera flights takes practice...

Zavie: I'm curious, but the youtube blocks the video in Germany...
:)
Pixtur: it's a BBC documentary on the piano lessons by David Barenboim, teaching young professional pianists how to play Beethoven sonatas.
Its all said
Loved it. My favorite production from the whole Evoke. The soundtrack is just awwww! :D
@preacher
you're totally right about the camera. I only had a couple of hours at the partyplace to work on it. And since the effects weren't done and the music was hard to understand because of all the noise around me I kind of went for very neutral "observer-cam"... so you're right: It should "act" more during the more intense segments.
@Zavie
Thank you for the link. Very inspiring. Amazing lessons, for every department... :)

absolutely amazing ... in a chilled way ... also, next level of sync? everything is flowing so smooth here ♥ also, yay to the piano ♥
should have been first. my real 2015 coup de coeur.
beautiful
Well done!
I enjoyed watching and listening to this very much. It is a great piece of "classical" piano music accompanied by a nice visual effect.
mesmerised & astounded
This is realtime art, love it <3
Nematomorpha gone GLBT. But ok.
Very nice !
norm
greta, agree that some colours seemed off.
cool
Innovative, inspirational, beautiful.
Should have won, without a doubt.
art
Wonderful!
I have watched it again: a very nice demo, very colourful, great music. It deserves its thumb up.
Not my cup of tea but must admit that it's still impressive piec of art.
different
Really enjoyed this one. Reminded me a bit of pieces composed by Debussy.
This is so good
