If it's what I think it is, it's a few years old. Great big mechanical things played by bouncing balls, etc?

It would be nice if it wasn't all prog orientated.

Sadly it is.

Saw some of this stuff on local PBS affiliates during pledge drive programming. At first, I thought the images (of the so-called instruments) really were making the music, and I was confused & amazed. I finally figured out (or heard it explained by the announcers during a break in show) that it was just great synchrony. The look of the animation was cool, the clay-like fluidity.

I've seen some of animusic. It's so neat. I like the one where they are shooting balls at the instruments to play them. I'm not describing it well and i don't remember what it;s called but it is cool.

It's called "Pipe Dreams":

The second album has "Pipe Dreams 2", which I've seen on the local PBS affiliate:

Yes! That is sooo damn cool. It's amazing how they sync up the actions and the music. Blows the hell outta fantasia. I have also loved "The Mind's Eye". Another cool animusic-like video.
