Line Rider Race - Who will survive?

I've synchronized the William Tell Overture (by Rossini) to 8 Line Riders racing down the track for victory. All lines were drawn by hand. This is the most riders I've done for a single track. I used to think 3 riders was too time consuming, but I love to make things harder for myself it seems. Did you guess the correct color?

I know a lot of you became patrons because you enjoy line ride...

Clean Bandit - Higher feat. iann dior (Minecraft Music Video | Beat Synchronized)

I spent over a month creating this Minecraft world synchronized to the beat of the Higher feat. Iain Dior by Clean Bandit. This is my first time using the Create mod for Minecraft. It brings so many incredible possibilities to the game, I can't recommend it enough. I have 52 failed attempts. The section I failed at the most was the trident throw at the target that opens up the second underwater...

I just noticed these comments on the Stranger Syncs video. People love your usernames on villagers at the end of the video! Glad you’re getting the recognition you deserve :)

The Piano Fountain (Wet Hands - C418)

It has been 12 days since I posted this on youtube, but I just remembered I forgot to share it here! I noticed comments from people saying that it reminded them of Animusic, which made me feel great because those animations had a big impact on me as a kid, and left me feeling very inspired ever since. It might be fun if I combine all my blender physics sync videos into one big compilation video...

Stranger Syncs - Minecraft Music Visualizer

When I heard this remix by C418 I fell in love with it instantly and had to make this video. All the block placement for music synchronization was done by hand. I lost track of how many hours I spent working on this, but I think it was around 120.

All Patrons are included at the end of the video! Keep a lookout for your named villager. 

Also, there have been a few updates to my...

Line Rider Screen Juggling

I've attempted to synchronize the motion of 2 line riders across 9 videos playing at the same time across 9 devices. I never want to listen to Carol of the Bells again.  

My original plan for this video was to get it filmed in a one take, but I ended up running out of time and didn't want to post this music after the holidays.   Thank you @Sprice Machines  and Connie f...

The Ultimate Minecraft Scavenger Hunt

I've created a huge scavenger hunt in Minecraft that anyone can play. You can win prizes in real life! More information in the youtube video description.

Glowing Marble Machine plays Moonlight Sonata

I've designed a machine which plays Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata by hitting piano keys with glowing marbles. To reach the keys, the marbles must pass through 4 layers of linked flip flops (splitters). This constantly changes the paths leading to each key. By calculating the perfect drop column based on the future board state, and adjusting the release timing to avoid collisions, every marble re...

I Synchronized a Race Track to Music - Trackmania PF

I just remembered I forgot to post my latest video on here. The reception has been awesome! I'll have to do more "3D Line Rider" like this in the future. 

Check out the sign at the end and you'll see I included all Patreon member names on a physical sign in the track. :)

Synthesia, but the Notes are Bees (Minecraft)

I just wanted to play on my note blocks before I was so rudely interrupted by the bees.  If anyone is able to sight-read the music from this I'd love to see it (probably impossible lol). 

I'm planning on making a video for my second channel where I walk through the Minecraft world and explain how it works. I'll put the link here when that's finished.

Don't get Hypnotized by my Bouncing Balls

I coded a simulation in Unity which spawns bouncy blocks to represent piano notes so the physics can make music. I get a similar feeling like staring at a campfire when I watch this.  It was a fun AI project to make sure that all the constraints I wanted were met. There is a lot of room to improve it, my approach ended up being a pretty brute force search for the best bounce trajectory bas...

Gravity Falls x Line Rider | Disney Channel Animation

Line rider fans, rejoice! I never expected to be contributing to Gravity Falls lore, but here we are! This project was done in collaboration with Ben Harvey (Rabid Squirrel), and David Lu (Conundrumer). It was awesome to team up with the Disney to bring this video to life! There may even be more to come. ;)

Electric Joy Ride - Minecraft Sync

Take a ride down my music synchronized minecart track in a beautiful amplified world. I timed fireworks, explosions, and flying blocks match the beat using redstone and command blocks.   Work time: 129.85 hours

Order from Chaos - Satisfying Marbles play “The Lark” by Glinka/Balakirev

Marbles bounce through a plinko pegboard and hit the correct piano key at the perfect time. In this version of the piano printer I created a rainbow spectrum for the key presses, as well as the usual portrait formation from the falling marbles.   

Massive thanks to Benny Wollin for his amazing performance of this piece. He also helped me by adding final decorations to the Blende...

Zedd & Jasmine Thompson - Funny (Minecraft Music Video)

After playing Beat Saber in VR, I wondered if I could create a similar rhythm game in Minecraft by hitting flowers with corresponding color swords. Now I've taken that concept to the next level by creating a playable music video that anyone can try! This version was made to work in vanilla Minecraft, so I took advantage of specific tools having right click functionality to mimic dual wielding h...

Visualizing Piano with Bouncing Balls (Chopin - Nocturne op.9 No.2)

I've synchronized bouncing balls to hit the piano keys in time with Chopin - Nocturne op.9 No.2. The balls then collect at the bottom to form an image. It took me over 54 hours to create this.   

There are some big upgrades on this piano printer compared to my previous creations. I can now use the absolute event time of the notes taken from SMPTE time code rather than ticks (con...

Synthesia in Minecraft (Last Survivor Wins)

I created the visuals of Synthesia in a minecraft map to play Sweden by C418. Once I had it working I realized it would be funny to turn it into a villager battle royal of sorts. When the note directly under them is pressed they fall into the lava. It was a lot of fun solving all the problems to make this work in game. Lots of commands and redstone!  

I've attached the map download i...

Line Riders - “Les Toreadors” from Carmen | Georges Bizet

I've synchronized a Line Rider track to Les Toreadors from Carmen (by Georges Bizet). All lines were drawn by hand. Remounting is a newly implemented feature in Line Rider. If the rider and the sled reconvene in a precise way the character can grab back on. It's pretty tough to pull off, so a lot of the tricks in this were extremely tedious, especially when I wanted to "juggle" the sleds betwee...

Interactive Livestream Success! New Discord Server!

Hello everyone! Hope you all are staying safe in these crazy times.

Yesterday, I ran the first live stream test of my "Interactive Minigolf Challenge | V.3 Test (Made in Unity)" for 2 hours. The game works by typing 2 numbers into the live chat, a power and an angle, which spawns you in as a golf ball. It's a lot of fun when there's a lot of people and a crazy amount of balls flying aroun...

Line Riders - The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart

Line Rider fans rejoice! I lost track of how much time it took me to make this, but I'm quite happy with the final product. If it wasn't for all of your continued support, I wouldn't be able to continue making these. I appreciate ya!

The Piano Printer V2 - Marble Physics Simulation (Beethoven | Für Elise)

I've synchronized Beethoven's Für Elise to over a thousand marbles bouncing on the piano keys. The marbles collect at the bottom and are colored to create a picture. I learned how to use Blender to make this video, and I can't believe that it's a free tool. There are SO many cool possibilities when you can bake the physics to keyframes. I will definitely be using it for other ideas.

If Portal 2 was a Rhythm Game (Synchronized Music Map)

I finally graduated college! For a few months I've been working on synchronizing a Portal 2 map to music from the game. I'm sharing the map files with my patrons if anyone would like to play the maps for themselves. 

Unzip the maps file and drag the contents into the below location, you should be able to open the command prompt in portal 2 with the '`' button, then type "map uniqueHa...

Channel Update: I'm almost a free man

Hello everyone! Just thought I'd post an update on what's going on with my channel. I'm currently 68 days from finishing my final semester of college.  School is taking up almost all of my time, so I unfortunately haven't had much time to work on videos lately. The good news is that I plan on making videos full time once I graduate in December. I'm super excited to have time for my creativ...

I made a Rhythm Game in Minecraft - Synchronized Music

I tried something new this time. After playing Beat Saber in VR, I wondered if I could create something similar in Minecraft by dual wielding swords and hitting corresponding color flowers. It took me over 178 tries until I completed the challenge with no missed hits. Next video is likely going to be Line Rider. 

People have been asking for a download link, and I would love to share ...
