    For everyone watching this video, I'm gonna help Esteban (who was very kind responding almost every comment on his previous post):

    Software used: Adobe After Effects
    Plugin used: Trapcode Particular v2. and Trapcode SoundKeys

    A little bit of expressions used, turbulence and spherical field tweakings.

    Haha...hope you don't mind, Esteban. ;D And yet again, congratulations on this one too.

    A little bit of expressions used, turbulence and spherical field tweakings. ? Elaborate? It definitely seems like a custom texture for the particles.

    Great work you are realizing Kandinsky's dream: "materialize music".
  •  
  • schoschie 1 year ago
    This is one of those cases where the video is much more aesthetically appealing and enticing than the music. Not saying that the music is particulary boring, but the video is particularly beautiful.

    I had suspected this was created algorithmically using custom code, but it was answered 2 comments above :)

    Any word on the 720P/1080P download? What quality is the itunes version? Cant see any details before buying.
  •  
  • Erased Tapes 10 months ago
    yes, it's the full 1280x720 HD version which is finally up an running here now. it's also the one we gave to iTunes to make it available for purchase worldwide.
  •  
  • Lauri Inc 10 months ago
    Ok, tried to purchase it but it's not available at our country. Is there a 1080p version also or just the 720p?

    Will buy it when it's possible. Great video and nice song!
  •  
  • Erased Tapes 10 months ago
    yeah, we only realised yesterday that iTunes videos are only available in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Lux, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States, which is pretty I think, seeing iTunes are the leading worldwide operating online store. we will certainly look into other options asap. we only have a 720p version, but maybe Esteban can produce a larger file. Get in touch with him on here. He is an ace guy! Rx
