"Seeds of Life" CGI Music Video

Posted on: September 12, 2006

This is one of my fave music videos of alltime. If I were to say more, I'd enthusiastically point out that I hope in the future, we'll be able to do such technoorganic growths within Second Life and colonize other planets (Seeds of Second Life?). (Ever think what would happen if in a friendly twist on ID4, if we could interface with Martians and play computer games with them? The music superbly coordinates with the visuals—it's Jan Hammer of Miami Vice fame, fercryinoutloud! In addition, I reckon that's not a real guitar solo near the end—it's one of Jan's famous synth-as-axe emulations which are as mindbending as they are earpleasing. I love the part with those hummingbirds too. From Beyond the Mind's Eye. Brilliant, compelling, computer-generated.

(Yeah, one of the greatest uses of YouTube is being able to bring back my youth.)
