beautiful scenes, especially the one with the 'paused rain' is my fave. the demo is progressing very slow tho!

boring

ULTRA boring

The comment before the demo started was "good luck ;)"

Hate the music, hate the progress, likes the amount of work.

gfx good...... but boring...
maybe need action for start and music.

art!
Visualice ?
Artisticly on a high level
not as good as 828 though

everything is COVERED IN FOG and MOVES VERY SLOWLY, which makes it ATMOSPHERIC and ARTY

i like it. hate me.

loved it, its the DIRECT opposite of this newschool "look at my rotating objects, french funk music with stolen rap samples, and no effects whatsoever yet lots of awesome fonts"-thing that seems to be so in style these days.

I usually feel a lot more fucked up when waking up at 02:20, but anyway - MORE PLEASE!

I think this is absolutely mesmerizing...a worthy successor to 828. Thank you for the trip, Visualice!

first off let me start with the fact that this is way better than 828, but the whole thing suffers from horrible editing. never cut when the action is actually beginning, learn to use crossfades, and generally don't kill the whole red line in the story with illogical edit points because it just takes out the whole tension from the whole prod. soundtrack was great, code is wz, graphics i enjoyed, but the direction was just underwhelming - it all seemed to me you had everything you would've needed for a great prod but failed to present it appropriately.

Well, this was really good. Maybe a little monotonous music/sound, but at the right time and place....

what Gargaj said

I survived.

Oppressing, but in a good way (compared to the plain painful "noise" demos)

Gave me 828-ish vibes, which is not a bad thing :)

Some nice effects, but still..

nice ambient trip with good models. I really liked the "outside" parts, but I have to agree with Gargaj: The transitions were very rough, throwing me back to reality. Still, thumb.

Far worse than 828, but still kickass soundtrack and some nice gfx and models. Most of the textures though are pretty bad, and the direction is not as good as you'd hope.

Uh.. not really know what to say about that one, simply not the style of demos i like to watch, so piggie

Good (probably the best amongst the outline batch) but not for everyone.

My opinion on the cuts is different. I believe that the unbalanced cuts *add* to the general feeling.

Love it. Fantastic sound but as couple ppl said, the transitions took me back to reality in some places. Maybe i'll watch it again at 02:20 some night when i wake up to strange scratching noises coming from weird angles (in other words, after couple days of heavy boozing)

Contains some of the most beautiful scenes ever showed in demos.

one of the most impressive demos i've seen this year

AAAAaAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Watervortex was almost like from my dream I've seen couple of times with all the sparkling and ambience. Music is just fucking fits and models rock as hell. Also the most important thing for me in demos is new/cool effects, and this demo has plenty of them.

BEST DEMO YET ON WINDOWS!

wow. So much to see - I think. I dont know if I saw things in the mist that are there or arent there.I'll watch again with the lights out later (and the family not arguing about cats in the background). Loads of mystery. I would have liked more edgy sound but frankly it was still great. Great demo. I'm with Navis on the cuts. Best Fr demo in a long time.

i thought that this was fucking awesome.

It creates good atmosphere. It has unusual sound (unusual for demoscene) and great visual composition/colors. But damn! It is so boring! There were couple of times when I thought "looks like something interesting will start now..." But nothing followed :(

Nice visuals, but it`s way to slowpaced and missing a proper soundtrack.

what the.......

Had to press esc button before my head would have fallen onto the keyboard. This is soooooo boring.

Next time something nice again!

Visualice living up to his name :D

Well, on second watching it actually feels better for me. It has little of the same effect on me as branch described, but not as intense as with 828.

Also, what's with people complaining about the soundtrack? Demo like this just couldn't work with a different music. Atmospheric demos require atmospheric music.

excellence in visual art, horrible in sound and overall a bit too boring.

Loads of work, loads of boredom.

Really impressive !! .. Nice ambience 'n' visuals !! .. I found a few things to betterize !! .. but .. I'll not mention it !! ..

Beautiful, just a little slow paced for party awe-reaction i think - at home when it's up close and personal, it works to great effect.

"The truth is out there, Scully!"

Fascinating and not boring at all. I can imagine that it doesn't really work during a compo though. But at home it's great.

really amazing trip!

very long

very interestingly directed, i like.

great atmosphere, but way too long

Redefines the word "slow".

I am totally speechless. This is so beautiful.
VISUALICE IS BACK! And it was sure worth waiting...

Fascinating experience! Everything is so damn superior, massive and puzzling
The editing puts you in this state between fear and awe.
Also it works great on outdated hardware, thank you!

what a great trip. thanks man. perfect athmosphere. they. are. coming.

HOW DID ... WHAT!? ...

Some scenes were awesome, never before in a demo

The music rocked throughout, keeping you guessing at deeper symbolism

Very good indeed, had no idea what was coming next all the way through. Particularly liked the spectral character in the swamp. Great return after the lazy 'Rove'.

Impressively made, goose bumps-ambience, lots of details. It was beautiful but I had -no- clue what it was about. I think that was the point, but I'd have liked more clues :)

828 with good graphics (sometimes awesome) and not everything aligned at the dead center. Nice atmosphere. Doing my taxes at the same time maybe helped not getting bored :)
Amount of work would have worth more than 3rd place.

Some very interesting scenes. Like the car/radio thing.

nice ambient stuff.... but thats it.

too strange and boring for me ... :(

Disturbing, which is a good thing. I am always impressed by the effort that Timo puts in his releases...

I think it was a very brave move to release a prod like this in any demo party. A party is hardly the proper platform for this kind of prod since it is _very_ slow and quite long as well. But I salute anyone who dares to do something different. This is a very moody production and has a great ambience. Like a surrealistic horror piece :).

I agree with almost all of the criticisms here, it _is_ slow, the direction is sometimes very off, and the audio perhaps would have benefited from some development. And yet... I like it. It has a few moments in there that makes it all worth it. Strangely, not at all happy with the outcome, but the little moments of magic just ... makes it rule, all the same.

Definetely more than one minute has passed...

Hmmm.

Some nice effects and good atmosphere, BUT much too boring and to long for a thumb up! A little bit more speed and a more varied soundtrack would helped a lot...

My mind is coming.

thumb up. a difficult (tedious at times) watch, could have done with some plot twists, but cool atmosphere.

i like the banality

Video anyone?

little interesting, but tooooo long without nothing happens!

Doesn't work for me at all. It's terribly slow, boring, repetitive in parts, extremely confusing and the soundtrack doesn't save it either.

Grate sink!

I would like to thumb up myself for not pressing escape while watching it.

(Video on the way, just takes some time because of the length, my insane quality wishes, and the fact I still haven't bought that i7)

Thank you visualice to remain true to your art, you can't please everybody with that choice (I am what I am talking about;) but who cares? Diversity in the demoscene is cool IMHO, and I loved this demo, the atmosphere, the refined details, the pro-code and zik that match perfectly your vision.

I like this.

Absolute fucking masterpiece!! I'm not a big fan of slow arty demos, but this held my attention from start to finish...it's just so fascinating, deep, beautiful, eerie and atmospheric, like a journey into a dark dream scape.

Unfortunately, there were a few glaring negatives that stopped this from being perfect. For a demo with so much variation and being so long, the soundtrack really needed to do more. The general style worked well, but it didn't adapt enough to the scenes. After a while it started to sound like some irritating background noise.

I also have to agree with Gargaj on the direction. The bad transitions really broke the flow and made it feel like a series of scenes rather than a cohesive demo. One minute you feel like you're being drawn in, then suddenly it just jumps to another scene and snaps you out of the experience.

But criticisms aside, this was intense. Visualice is an incredible artist in the true sense of the word!

no beats. a welcome trip back into the mind of visualice, and a nice contrast to all the fast-paced attention-deficit demos out there. a lot of work was put into this, it's not just art for art's sake. it does follow the growing trend of blue demos, but at least it's not blue/tan. :) and yeah, transitions seem to still be his weakness, but there are many beautiful scenes to enjoy.

got me

the visuals were great throughout the whole demo and it sort of had its mood.
but i felt it was too long and the music simply got on my nerves in the end.
still, a thumb up for the work behind all those scenes

Farbrauschs attempt to be MFX´ish or HjB´ish.
Autobahnish also. Überholspur?

Omg, this has soo earie atmosphere that if it catches, it can be a unique scary experience. It was so agonizing, this was the purpose of the demo being sooooo slow, I was grabbing from my chair wondering what is gonna happen next. So fucking scary with some so weird stuff that could be paranormal entities (illegal telepathy and stuff :) but it's way more. Those demos are like they come from another alternative universe where things are so different than here that you can't even imagine it! Literally caught me shaking from agony, it can't get more earie than this.

too long, and too nonsensical :/

Loved the island with the house and the tree though.

Dut rastwhatever: May I suggest a visit to your local clue shoppe? Captain Obvious may be able to give you a ride.

It's weird. I just love the direction and editing.

The only problem I have is the inconsistency in craftsmanship. Some scenes look stunningly detailed and perfect, but some objects (like the window, the picture frame and the clock) look like in a demo from the 90s. A slight depth of field would have done wonders to some scenes.

On the other hand: the next killer scene is always just around the corner. I am amazed how well the proportion works! Just like in 828, things look either tiny or huge and little artifacts become abstract details. I am watching and learning.

Video: http://vimeo.com/11480279 (including very-high-quality download link if you're a member)

Really nice scary atmosphare and visuals but I got tired after 6 min and stopped watching it.

Very eerie. I love the atmosphere, the direction and the ideas in this one. However, from the look of other productions by Farbrausch .wz3 seems to be way more capable than this. The quality of the visuals was a huge disappointment for me.

Only if this creepy environment was depicted better this could have been a true masterpiece :/.

All right never the less.

Oops, gave a thumb but forgot to comment on the demo itself. Damn imprerssive work, my new favourite visudemo (and I certainly haven't liked them all). Rove was boring as hell, this is anything but.

wau, like kafka style ....

Impressive work, plus what Break said ;)

nice but, it was too long and the music simply got on my nerves in the end.

for sure an atmospheric and impressive showcase of fr's skills, but the slow pace made some scenes drag and the punch the demo should've had was lost

hot stuff.

Very boring.

Sehr sehr geil!

Exhausting. Interesting. It was close to my thumb up!

Masterpiece. Best demo of the year so far for me.

kb: what format is the audio in? I get video but no audio here (using quicktime x, plus perian for all the codecs) and just a 'malformed file' error with quicktime 7. VLC plays it but extremely badly with a lot of clicking in the audio.

Great.

Some guys(?) just have enormous imagination. Any substances to broaden the horizon?

Thanks for the trip.

psonice: simple AAC at 160kbps... plays well here on all of my machines; no idea what's wrong.

break: i think i get your point. little visit at the clue shoppe was kinda necessary it seems.
thanks for always helping me when i get a bit offroad!

great work! really raised the hairs of my arms, thinking that was done with the 5 years old wz3!!! track is nice but a little boring :)

Great atmosphere.

wow. this totally fitted todays mood.

visualice, you crossed the f* line with this. its epic,
however i think the music could be more variated, ambient or not,
there are so many possibilites in sound shaping nowadays.

Beautiful and Brave. And deeply impressing.
(I would´ve called it "02:56" though)
...soundtrack plz...?.....

works. thx. :)

its nice that someone makes something different, and visualice goes against the normal fast paced demos.

Some nice beautiful scenes and a special soundtrack. But its just too slow a pace running at over 13 mins.

WHOA - This prod creeped me out so much that I was seing scary shapes everywhere ! Had me glued to the screen hoping nothing would cause me a heart attack... I liked this a lot.

awesome work timo!!!

@Visualice .. You know it's a good one !! ..
I'd die for the source .. betterizing some bits left .. for perfection !! .. but .. that's not gonna happen !! .. :D ..

There it goes !! .. on a pouet comment page !! ..

shame on me for watching this in windowed mode, but i'd really appreciate it if the player also worked when the window is not active.
apart from that the demo worked pretty well for me, really nice ambience and soundscape. some of the transitions could have been better, but maybe that's just personal.

atmosphere, calming, different. enjoyed! if you have a very short attention span and want every demo to be pounding beats and no longer than 2 minutes... then i guess its not for you.

I like the graphics and atmosphere. This is much better then Rove from my point of view.

i like it. no problems with tranistions or direction.
the music keeps it together.

Wow, just ran it realtime and it's even smooth at 720p on a low-end radeon 2400 :D

i like the atmos, have to agree about raw cuts between scenes. can you make a video available for download not only through vimeo?

there are a lot of REALLY good scenes, but maybe some atmospheric music would be better but overall, it's okay

Brilliant, and there's nothing to criticize. Thanks again, visualice.

a genuine atmosphere, some really nice effects... although imho it would have been a killer demo with a rythmic music and an according punchy sync...

Bad sex - I was waiting for the climax and went home unsatisfied.

After watching the whole demo, I must admit, the visuals and atmosphere are just awesome. But the demo is really too long, there is missing something, which want me to rewatch it.
All in all, I would prefer a thumb up now, if you accept the style of the artist.

☔

Interesting.

Very atmospheric

great work, despite the awkwardly slow pacing

Managed to keep me watching all the way through, but not sure if I will watch it again any time soon. It has its moments; some of the parts are massive and creates a great ambient mood. At first I thought it had a storyline, then there are those scenes which look like they are from a completely different demo and has seemingly no connection that ruins it somewhat. However, it's a nice trip.

Is okay but way too long. Or at least it seemed that way.
Seems like people will give away their CDC's to farbrausch no matter what they do...

Nice to look at, but too long!!

Cool

true: it's long and it's quiet.
anyways, i like it. people who hate it because it is not what they expect... oh well. the only point of criticism for me would be, that if you have tiny imperfections and show a scene with these imperfections too long your eye kinda catches them and focuses on them. otherwise it is a very nice mood-piece and the whole alien visit/lost time story in this quiet way, oh well .. i am kinda zielgruppe for that. :P

Wow, that was some interesting, abstract stuff.

Mixed thoughts about it, mostly good though.
Some fantastic individual scenes in there, but I felt the editing and general lack of cohesion between scenes let it down. (oh and I was kinda waiting for some big closing scene!)

Develop it a bit further (sequel?), add a semblance of a story in there with a focus and you could have a real winner.

Beautiful. Have no words

Beautiful.

holy creepy wtf sh...

had to stop it,
couldn't watch it to the end...

Fr-055 was superior to this because of the abstract, surreal visuals, and better soundtrack. This is a much more figurative, less interesting piece.

If you think this lacks cohesion or doesn't have a plot, watch it again ;)

i will watch it until end when i'm really bored

hehehe w23, my words! =D

god this looks nice!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! 720P capture? :)

There's a download link on the vimeo site. You need a vimeo account to access it though. It's 800+MB, so I can understand FR not wanting to host it ;)

While you're on the site, why not upload the dhs stuff and add them to the demoscene group? :)

btw, with Video DownloadHelper plugin for Firefox you can also download from Vimeo without account.

aah great. did not know I could download the files from vimeo. thanx

yes, i say, this PIECE is from the mid 17th century and really represents a milestone in figurative goat dung...wot wot...toodle-pip.

Holy crap

no

This is awesome!

okay

Brrr... Visualice. Turning more and more into the Lynch of the demo scene. Nearly unrivalled, sadly.

Epic scenes should have epic music!
Thumb up anyways.

Agreed with DKonstrukt about the Lynch statement.
To me the demo (?) looks like Lynch reworking "2001 a space odyssey" and "3rd kind encounter" :)

+Gorgeously Hi-res
+Eerie atmosphere
+Demo'ish feel
-slow
+3 Auto for FR, activated only when decent or above.

Total: +5. Thumbs up, Soldier!

Very enjoyable.

nope

Nice

Well directed slow paced demo with creepy and moody atmosphere and colours. Nice trip to Visualice´s mind. Sound is great and perfectly fit to overall feeling.

I think we have a nominee for Best Direction 2010 Scene.org awards.

Masterpiece

do that again in 3 min playtime and it would be perfect... its unbelieveble boring... but the art is excellent ... piggy

i checked out those guys who apparently made the music, and as far as i can see the album this track is from isn't out yet. any idea when that happens? this track really hits the spot right now.

Lovely

Timo you know i really like your art, but this is boring.
No action, i'm waiting in every single moment a beast to take my head off, but it's not coming.
The visual is great as always, i like your dark art-deco style, you should work with Tim Burton or with the guys on Sin City 2. :)

I excepted its duration will be two minutes and twenty seconds. I was disappointed.

Awesomeness !

welp it was out, just not on the official site

I loved it especially when i knew that it wouldn't be 02:20 long.

Realy realy boring

meh, awesome visuals and so, but It does nothing for me. Needs more action. Perhaps a track with some noise and turns to sync the thing to, would make it more interesting for me.
Imo it goes nowhere. (But maybe my patience today didnt let it progress as others see it)

A couple of things were pretty pleasing, the ghost and small details like the evaporating water or frozen drops or the stereo; a couple of things were really odd, like the lighting model of many objects looking too shiny, the first lightnings looking just cheap, some transitions like the one at the end of the tunnel...

And overall, this is really slow, which wouldn't have been a problem if I were caught in the trip, but I wasn't.

Finally, something that isn't just fast beats for once. I love how ambient and spooky this is.

Good atmosphere, though quite creepy - soundtrack matches.

I really like the atmosphere and the idea in general, after years of bouncing beats - the crowd must have been sitting there, quietly - watching this demo.

Well done!

This is exactly what I love in Farbrausch, also like in 828. Some people says, that this is boring prod, but I think, that only boring persons, couldn't understand this demo, can't get inside them selves and catch any tiny aspects of this art. Music is great! Farbrausch in the highest form.

Promising beginning but I was expecting some more action after 2:20 ... Thumb up for the work and the atmosphere, though.

I think... Yup! I definitely fell asleep there for awhile.

Love FR stuff but this just bored me to tears.

So awesome.

(P.S. ADHD is far more widespread than I thought.)

I don't get it, but I like it!

I don't dislike it, but I've to say that it is the first demo from Farbrausch I've not been able to watch complete.

I think that we could consider this as a "director's cut", and I would really love to see a shortened version of 9-10 minutes.

Love the visuals.

(what Wade said)

It was some seriously haunting stuff on the big screen. I really love this supernatural stuff paired up with the cottage and all that. And it was all happening while no one was around to see it?

boooooring. great visuals though....

Love the soundtrack, the visuals were a bit too hectic compared to the ambience. Still, a very nice production.

i would love to see some better modeling and FX.
nevertless a nice moody show

Beautiful, beautiful images
Waaayy too long, and clumsy scene changes
Soundtrack had too little going on
Is this the future of noisedemos?
Was about to thumb down, but kinda liked the atmosphere, so piggy here

boring

After many, many watchings, i'm still in love with this one.

..atmospherical

Something different, and also love the idle sunder's music.

how could i've missed this? brilliant!

Still cool old farbrausch...

Sacred move. Almost аll i have thinking about last ten years. Move on guys. Trinity watching and endorse yours audacity.

Full of suspense.
Love this.

Incredible visuals. Top notch material which could have been put together better somehow, though. Kubrick's 2001 is fast paced in comparison.

another missed thumb
there are only a few demogroups who have enough members/styles to do an great demp for almost every mood - fr is one of them.
I suggest to watch this pod after having played black mirror or any other slow-paced creepy computer game, movies will most likely also work.
if the atmosphere is right, this is a masterpiece.

demp is the new demo

Scary demo - quite long though. I like it and made a Highres Youtube Rip on my HD channel for it:

YOUTUBE: fr-074: 02:20 by farbrausch (1080p)

Insanely good soundtrack and it works so well together with the visual atmosphere. For me, the only thing that detracts from the immersive experience is the realistic 3d look, which at times look very dated. But whatever. Thumbs up!

Some of the scenes are awesome and look great, the others drawn-out and dated, with highly questionable cuts. I wouldn't have paid attention to the incoherence, but the demo is so long I just can't help dwelling on it while some camera slowly pans around/zooms into another brooding abstract "something" from the darkest corners of Visualice's mind. :)

Really nice dark ambient on the soundtrack, though.

This is by far one of the best demos at showing what's not there to be seen. A fantastic ride through one's own imagination. Never seen demos do this quite this well before. I like the fact that what seems to be "the red line" is something that can't be made out. The soundtrack fits the scenes perfectly and vice versa. You, good men, have really huge balls - touching or not ;-) This was bound to be a crowd-splitter. I'm with the yay-part of the crowd!

Hmm...the Visuals are good, but the vibrating noises in the ambient "music" makes me remember old attempts on this on the amiga...in a bad way....

it would have been a great ambient-demo hadn't it been for some of the scenes. some parts have impressive 3d-content and textural work, but many of the scenes just doesnt seem to fit into the same style. it got boring at times, and at the same time the ambient-music got boring because of that. and the 02:20 theme didnt work for me. it would have been better if it actually showed the real time-span between the duration. so because of the slowness and the lack of same quality in many scenes its only a piggy from me. nevertheless the graphics work put into the scenes with quality is impressive.

{zzZZzz}

not my cup of tea.

hi all. i come back to the scene since 2009. just to exchange points of view, to see wonderful products and this is a f****g one ! apart some demos from people i follow, no doubt this kind of show between dream and nightmare done me excellent emotions. yes emotions. kind of demos i particularly like, change considerably of bass-bass dubstep which give less sens in my eyes. this demo is a good research. something over the "simple" fact of collecting visuals and putting together. this is art. kind of voluptuous travel i particularly like and would like to watch more often ! so thanx a lot farbraush and pleaz continue doing as this :)

I like the atmosphere and mood in this demo.

My cup of tea.

Its a brave choice to do something so minimal and abstract and you can see in the comments and voting that it is not always popular. Personally I like this style.

Excellent stuff!

great atmosphere, music totally fits nice visuals
some transitions could have been less harsh but ok

Tonight I was just in the right mood to watch this and it was amazing!

So. Incredibly. Boring.

let down by lazy sound design

One or two beautiful scenes drowned into a bucket of snooze.

not perfect but not bad either. strong swine

I've been broken down to the atoms...for me great

I hate to dump on fellow sceners - but this is a collection of individually awesome scenes that aren't the right length, aren't in the right order, and weren't put in any sort of context.

This is why movies are attributed to directors. A strong director's edit is all this prod needs to become great.

unique, but not for everybody

i really like the the diving octahedron scene

If a child's hospital like UKBB is would be attached to the cyber from all 4 cardinal points, would a big unnamed Secret Service use it as Base for Cyberwar? Wouldn't it violate the Geneva Convention?

different

Dark ambient. Not for everybody.
