Here’s another from Imitate, and please pay attention to the seizure warning!!!

The initial video capture was produced by Imitate while the remainder of the visualizer was produced by Hiroki Okamoto (scuy(v0id). Be sure to check out Imitate’s other videos here.

What began as Andy’s guitar loops evolved into four-track EP that added analog synths, Rhodes, and healthy doses of reverb and delay. “It Was Not Supposed to Happen Like This: Incidental Music Volume One” was the result of our efforts.
