Music-driven animation

After working on my animation to 'Teardrop' by Massive Attack I decided to look for examples of animations of a similar nature. One particularly interesting piece I found was created by a student:

Kasabian - I.D (stage visualisation)




It seems a few bands/artists have made use of music-synced animation, using it for music videos and stage visuals. I found this example particularly interesting and feel it relates to my animation in some ways .

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy



This animation to me seems inspired by the Rorschach inkblot test. This has some really nice ideas in it and seems to be a mixture of rotoscoping, and digitally animated ink brushes, with the use of a vertical mirror effect in the centre. I'm becoming increasingly more interested in this style of animation as the opportunities to explore ideas and events with fluidity and spontaneity are much greater.
