I'd have found this much more interesting if the animations were rendered in the browser - I would have loved to poke around the code that makes them work. They're neat looking, but being served videos and not code leaves an itch unscratched.

He publishes a couple with the source code: https://github.com/Bleuje/processing-animations-code

Also he published some full tutorials that are more conceptual, which you can find here: https://bleuje.com/tutorials/

I found the tutorials had a lot of awesome ideas (like traversing 4d noise for a seamless loop!) which I ended up playing with in my own projects. I don't use processing like he does, but all the tutorials are very easy to understand even if that's not your tool of choice.

I am entirely way way way too high for that EDIT: it's maddening that I can't save some of these!

Technically you can (licensing though needs to be checked). Just check/inspect the code of the page, look for video tag and see the source url, e.g. [0] 0. https://bleuje.com/mp4set/2021/2021_01.mp4 P.S. You can even check out how author's animations increase in complexity over time by changing year and month manually (or finding the full list of videos in one of the js files). Great work!

He has a full gallery on his website, this is just the random page.

Reminds me of David Szakaly (davidope), who has a similar style in a lot of his loops. Can be searched for, but it seems like he's primarily active on Instagram, where the videos cannot be watched unless logged in.

Some of these animations transported me back 20-25 years ago to the days when I would have Winamp cranking with its visualization plugins. Fun times. Cool animations here.

True that! Though with Pentium MMX turning on those WinAmp visualizations led to significant drop in system responsiveness that I don't do anything other than watch those visualisations when I turn them on. Simpler, fun times though.

Obligitory shoutout to ProjectM!

MilkDrop 3 got released not that long ago and works on any audiosource. V2 was basically our digital fireplace in the 90s. https://github.com/milkdrop2077/MilkDrop3

Thanks, appreciate it! I probably would've missed it. I still use Winamp and Milkdrop2 today and still have like hundreds of my own presets. Super excited to get into Milkdrop3 now, especially with multiple audio sources and this new "double preset" feature.

Woaaw, amazing work. At some point I struggled with the dilemma: * clicking to discover a new animation * spending all my life contempling the current one

"MilkDrop 3.0 is a portable program that supports any audio source"

Unfortunately what they mean by "portable" is in the context of Windows only. :(
