Just a heads up, if you are wearing headphones, make sure your volume is properly adjusted, don't worry though, this video isn't exactly "Screamer" loud, but still the screeching sounds might cause you to cringe a bit.
I was looking around for 'mellow' psychedelia videos, instead I found this. Composed with electronic drums and sounds, A huge array of headache inducing colors with shuddery and frantic movements makes for a rather nightmarish looking abstract video.
The color and movements work really well and go in sync with the distorted sounds (There are some music clips in there that have been meshed up beyond recognition if you listen hard enough). The animation makes use of a lot of negative spacing, to effectively match the direction in which the sound tends to come from (As in, if you were to hear it more from the right, the animation would be positioned more to that side) and how soft or loud it tends to get (Smaller, thinner and almost slower movements for softer sounds and vice versa).
I really do like how it starts off with framed box of sorts (And many times, other shapes are boxed inside it), almost as if trying to restrain the insanity within, only to break apart as the video progresses, while all the other shapes are practically twitching and twisting far more violently in comparison to it. The ripples seem so much gentler as compared to the other more solid shapes that are constantly cracking and breaking apart, they seem to be matching the distant, less distorted music clips in the video, which in a way symbolizes the weak grasp kept on any form of remaining sanity.
Overall I found this really helpful for my project, there are a wide range of shapes (Though there is also a larger focus on boxes) and colors, a huge variety of interesting movements that matches the sounds incredibly well.
Sadly not much is known about the composer and animator, she/he however does have a music channel on youtube and has posted quite a number of music/sound videos much like this one.
… maybe it wasn't a good idea to write about this while I'm feeling unwell…
