The talented animators at Animusic have worked hard to produce the second volume of computer animated music. Each of the 8 animation sequences features inventive instruments playing music in different settings, one of which features the music from Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition." Then, there are some techno sequences followed by mellow acoustic, and plenty of bonus material. There's something for everyone!
Animusic isn't targeted to any particular age group or gender...it appeals to a very broad spectrum. The digital detail is so realistic, people think they are viewing real instruments! The disc includes both widescreen and full screen versions.

After the dramatic send-off of Bach's music into space aboard Voyager II, Mr. Bach unexpectedly arrives at the house of Elizabeth, a present-day child, who is awkwardly practicing his famous Minuet in G.
Along with three of Bach's choir boys, Elizabeth learns about his life - his 20 children, his stay in prison, Anna Magdalena, the exciting family picnics, concerts, and his music.
She moves from skepticism to respect for Bach's good-humored nature and musical brilliance. Only at the end do we learn the reason for Bach's visit: "So that my music will never again be forgotten...for wherever my music is being played, I am alive." 54 minutes, full color.

Features:
Eight performers take the audience on a journey through sound and music, where rhythm is the only language. STOMP has grown from its beginnings on the streets of Europe into an international sensation, with touring productions all over the world, and long running shows in London, Las Vegas, and Broadway. For the first time, this special performance unites performers from the West End, New York, and Vegas in Stomp's home town and the theatre where many of the routines were originated: Brighton Dome. Instantly recognizable household objects take on new life as percussive instruments in the hands of each Stomper; brooms, cigarette lighters, water bottles, basketballs and more are each explored for their sonic potential. Dance meets rhythm in Hands and Feet and Stomp takes to the air in Suspension, where the entire set becomes a musical instrument. The show climaxes with the Bins routine: a ten minute rhythm extravaganza in itself, using trash-cans, oil drums, and plastic drums with trash-can lid combat sequences. Combining physical comedy and athleticism, it's a highly charged performance from an idiosyncratic group who could only come from the world of STOMP. Approx running time 140 mins. IMPORTANT NOTICE: This disc is a high-definition disc and is compatible only with Blu-ray players. It will not play on a standard DVD player.

The creators of the internationally successful stage production Stomp produced this video, taking the show's innovative style out of the theater and into the streets of New York City. Combining aggressively-physical dancing with everyday objects (brooms, garbage can lids, hammers, and plastic jugs, among other things) used both to make noise and balance the performers, Stomp created a sensation in London, on Broadway, and on tour around the world. For this production, a collection of new numbers have been staged to take place in real-life locations all around New York, from crowded alleys to a billboard scaffolding high above the streets. Approximate running time is 50 minutes.
