Nice visuals.
Not really my kind of music.
Could have been better with cubes ;)

OH MAN YES YES YES!!!! Absolutely love it. Looks nice, sounds nice, cool progression and really unique!! If I had to nitpick I'd say a couple of the cameras felt a bit jerky and I wished a bit for the visuals to have glitched with the music, but this still came together so nice and was REALLY great to watch. Awesome work fellas :D

Music is a little strange, but i like the balls :)

Awesome. Actually really liked the music too. Different in a spectacular way. Well done.

Ohyeah!

the cells/dna content is a bit cliche and direction is a bit slow here and there (bad camerawork), but it's an enjoyable demo and reminds me of traction a bit :)

What Maali said, and... hey, wtf is reflected in that envmap? :)

very nice. <3 music

style is fantastic but the guitar-ish part felt misplaced

Great stuff, looked amazing on the big screen.

I absolutely love it! At first I wanted to dislike the music, but then it grew on me and together with the visuals it's fitting very good. And the visuals and pace is awesome as well.

Works for me!

Music is different ... but fits the visuals very well.

left me in a sense of wonder. great.

Looks like old Traction mathematics style first, but in an own, different way. Creates a strong atmosphere and also the music fits well, but I would have like the soundtrack more without noise.
rulez added on the 2014-11-09 23:18:42 by Bobic Bobic
Can't help but think not matching the glitches in the music with a visual change was a missed opportunity, but you did play out enough variations of the monochrome effect to suggest some ideas against the mighty musical backdrop. With another few effects and more imaginative typography it could have ruled hard!! As presented, I still like it. :)
rulez added on the 2014-11-09 23:42:54 by Photon Photon
Stretching those layers on the y-axis that far isn't really a good idea.
If it wasn't for some noisy parts I might have thumbed this down, sorry but it just couldn't captivate me. In general I liked the visuals more than the music, but in some parts it was just the opposite.

i like that it feels like a "one scener" and everything evolves from that. kudos.
first half was more to my liking (music and visuals), but all in all, very nice prod.

Only Ponas can do this kind of music! Sweetballs!

Simple lines, simple spheres. Not that memorable TBH.
added on the 2014-11-10 15:40:29 by Marq Marq
Mixed feelings, mostly because of the glitches in music.
Not bad at all. The music was quite weird, in a good way! The plexus stuff is okay too :)

ORDO AB CHAO ... and excellent typographics
rulez added on the 2014-11-10 22:22:06 by d0DgE d0DgE
Beautiful minimalistic stuff, music is even nice most of the time and gives feeling, even if it scratches with some noisy samples at times which I don't enjoy.

My favorite entry in the compo

The music is pretty cool and the graphics too. But for me what I see does not connect at all with what I hear.

Fix added - some of the shaders failed to compile on AMD.
Added proper .nfo with credits for tools and resources we have used.

Thanks for all the nice comments and criticism!

We would have loved to spent more time on direction, polishing and adding more dynamics with the music (glitching!). Hopefully our next release won't be as rushed (yeah right :D ).

Didn't work for me. The first part was interesting, but the rest didn't live up to it. The visuals felt out of sync, and the env mapping was very distracting.
added on the 2014-11-14 17:17:01 by Zavie Zavie
Super cool. Would have been great, if the single thread turned into a building block for even bigger objects, like the edges of the skysphere, that when zoomed out forms the beginning of the next iteration.

This is very nice. I love the colors and sense of space/depth. The music goes into a bit of a "turn down the volume, oh my ears"-part a few times, but apart from that this is damn solid.
rulez added on the 2014-11-15 00:04:41 by gloom gloom
Visually very nice... for me personally the music ruined it.

Some very tasteful gradients. :D

those generic colours and gradients :/

This started so promisingly . . . and then mirrorballs with reflections of imaginary windows.
I liked this!

That was Something unique :) Loved the visuals, track was ok.

The same as stakka and metoikos, with the addition that I really dislike the harsher parts in the otherwise fine track.
added on the 2014-11-18 16:50:02 by noby noby
It was quite good until the music went all lame.
Nice ideas here.

I had a black box in my top corner on my very old, updated Windows XP Pro SP3 box with its ATI Radeon 4870 video card (512 MB of VRAM). It happened in both full and windowsd screens. http://i.imgur.com/9tRX0VA.jpg for a screen shot/capture. :(

Anyways, it was decent. :)

@AntDude: weird! It would be nice to figure out what causes this problem. Drop me a mail at ebbe.smith.gmail.com if you feel like helping me out (i.e running some .exe's) :)
added on the 2014-11-30 15:03:41 by quisten quisten
after an awesome start, i felt let down in the end, basically what metoikos said. i also did not like the music at all.

Geometry rules. Music kinda sucks :(

Nice clean visuals.
rulez added on the 2014-12-05 23:37:19 by datsua datsua
quisten: I am pretty sure it is my very old ATI Radeon 4870 video card and its driver (have to use the older version (9.4) due to hard lock up issue in the newer drivers). :(

If you still want me to help you out briefly (very BUSY these days), then please kindly let me know (ant@zimage.comREMOVETHIS1ST).

Atmosphere rulz. Love those outward zooms.

Not sure if I'm just interpreting stuff into inkblots or really getting what you are trying to get across.
The way I understand it - both the visuals and sound - start in chaos (Matter?), then order to form a solid whole (Atom?) and evolve into a higher level structure (Molecule?) and then further develop into more complex structure, which collapses under it's weight (fails to connect with the other Molecules in a stable way?).
Anyway thanks for creating it, it got me thinking and if I had enough points I'd give you a <3 for this :-)

Wow, never commented? One of my favourite demos from recent years, absolutely great. Killer soundtrack.

Quite good actually, strange in attractive way despite the almost funny twists in places.
