I just finished creating a POV-Ray animated video to accompany some ambient
music I wrote... rendering took a couple of weeks of 24 hours-a-day, with 4
instances of Mega-POV-Ray running on all 4 cores of my 3 GHz Mac Pro.  The full
write-up that describes some of the POV-Ray work (written more for a
non-raytracing audience) and background on the music and ideas is here:

The music video (which is supposed to be meditatively slow, so sit back and
relax :) can be found here:

Comments/critiques (of the video and music) are welcomed!

beautiful.

however, you state your goal was to make it "painfully slow", but it's really
only painfully slow to people only used to rock/hip-hop/whatever.  It's slowly
paced, but no pain. :)

perhaps you would enjoy this:

I like it a lot.  It reminds me of some of Jean-Michael Jarre's early work, 
musically speaking. If you're not familiar with Oxygene, for example, you 
should check it out. And yes, lots of his music you spend wondering how he's 
going to segue to the next track, and he knows this, toying with you. :)

Your other music is very cool too. I like it a lot. Thanks!

   Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
   I get "focus follows gaze"?

Perhaps "painful" was too strong a word... maybe "aching/anticipating" was more
appropriate.  I was hoping that it would help "slow the alpha waves" :-)  And of
course, I wanted the POV-Ray scenery to be engaging.

Oh yes.  I had recently been pointed to Arvo, having never heard of him (I'm
more into baroque/classical, and am missing out on lots!)  Thank you for the
link, gorgeous piece!

Funny, I've also heard almost none of Jarre's work, including this album, but
others have mentioned him recently as a similar sound, so I must add that to my
shopping list now.  A generous compliment, thank you.
