Pipe Dream appears on the debut DVD from ANIMUSIC. This video features a captivating performance of balls flying out of pipes and landing on instruments, sounding notes and rhythms as the balls hit. Note such details as wear on the instruments (from repetitive hitting in the same spot) and the realistic vibration and movement when the balls strike the xylophone and marimba.

The instruments in Pipe Dream come to life by way of proprietary software called MIDImotion. The software analyzes the MIDI data from a recorded song and then it controls the rendering process so the 3D models appear to play the music.
