Really really nice. Great atmosphere, nice visuals and wonderful music.
Atmospheric and calm/moody soundtrack together with not too hectic, colorful visuals - great stuff!
Liked the rain scene in the end especially :)
Made a Youtube Rip for it:

music wase wonderful
That was seriously great. Beautiful visuals, almost perfectly matching a really good tune. Is the music in the zip, or do we have to beg for it? :D
Solid graphics and music, close to perfect execution.
A very calm demo, but nice graphics and music. I like more the faster and actionful demos of Brainstorm & Traction, but this one here is anyway good.
lovely.
gfx wase wonderful
best demo in the compo, voted for it :)
very delicate and well balanced, love the music and the visuals, quite intriguing as a whole :)
Amazing direction to a wonderful soundtrack. Just my coup of tea.
Great work!
Nice demo. I like a lot the part with the rain of particles over dark spheres.
Some transitions are beautiful but slow as hell on my PC.
The only think that I dislike is that, occasionally, the action in the screen is too static.
Cool slow pace soundtrack.

Cool slow pace soundtrack.
Very touching and atmospheric as usual.
Thumbs up for visuals & code. The music bored me to hell, though, with slow pace, repeating the same exact notes and eventually leading to nowhere.
nice one. and the tune is really chillin'. cool.
A journey you can take over and over again.
Digital blues.
sweet, soothing demo. I associate it a bit with the game Osmos, which is never a bad thing, kind of same feeling, a cozy one. thanks!
What keito said + the minimalism is occasionally a bit jarring.
glorious =)
also
Nice, but boring.
Hmm.. I really like it, but it feels a bit empty at times. A shame, cause there is some really nice scenes in there! Piggy for now.
clean design and nice music. thumb only for the second half of the demo. that was awesome!
It has the odd cool effects, but overall it's just too slow and basic. It seems you can add glow to anything these days and people will lap it up.
I know Gargaj is a talented musician and I really like a lot of his past work, but this particular track sounds like it was created with this...

Such a design accompanied by Gargaj's awesome music definitely works for me. Soothing :3
Seriously good demo with fitting music, congrats! In my top 5 demos of this year so far.
classieux.
Ending scene saves the demo. I found the rest very well put together, but not really interesting. Too much glow in a couple of spots.
(And answering my own question, yes the music is in the data folder :)
Simple tune, nice effects, boring composition, a sleeper
Really like this one, soothing and calm.
A tiny bit of criticism would be that the cuts to black in the last part seems somewhat misplaced.

Beautifully understated.
I love minimalism but this feels maybe a bit uninspired, both visually and musically. I when people say this but it really feel look like a 64k intro. I think there could've been a lot more done with this. But for what it is, it's not bad.
enjoyed the relaxing visuals a lot. nice colours and well-balanced effects.
the tune...well... it's not bad. but a bit too simple. some light variations in the main melody wouldn't have hurt. don't mistake minimalism for emptiness.

"I *hate* when people say...", damn typos
I found it hard to concentrate at all. For what it is I guess it's OK, because I bet it does what it should for the purpose for which it was intended.
Some good looking parts, but mostly too simple and basic. And I can't help but feeling intensively bored, from beginning to end
Classic traction stuff. A bit uneventful and too familiar looking overall, but still worthy of a thumb up.
Boring like hell ! :(
A little long-winded, sure, but there is nothing wrong with the execution here.
Beautiful and moody.
very pleasant
also: u00dcmlau00fct design!
Mesmerizing.
Beautiful stuff, especially the final scene. Sync with the music is also very subtle.
This was truly mezmerizing.. I love how the effect "hugged" itself at the end. Beautiful stuff.
I'm getting really really tired of this kind of glowing-lines-and-particles-stuff, sorry.
I felt completly relaxed while watching this, nice trip
+1
Lovely sparkles effect and what a nice last scene.
Should have won.
nice
Beautiful
Wow. Incredibly beautiful! One of my favourite demos this year.
great. to bad it didnt won the compo
the thing with slow paced prods in democompos is that they almost never hit the party mood. while i kinda liked the feel of it on the bigscreen (and of course the nice, calm music by gargaj) i couldnt help but wish for the next prod with a little more UNZ and energy.
now, 2 days later, suffering from PPD and other emotional stuff i rewatch it and am totally carried away.
this IS art. <3

strange but cool
<3 that track by Gargaj. Ending scene is great too! Rest is slightly too slow for me.
@xcom: what's with your video? the video in top link has 1080p, the one you linked is only 720p and seems to stutter in some places. Is there a reason for that? Maybe check the links first before posting?

Also: what Pixtur said.
yeah. a nice, relaxed trip
What Gloom said, both times.
Great demo and for me best from compo. Slow pace, still camera and calm music making a very tranquility and dreamy atmosphere.
Should have won.
Should have won.
yep
What gloom said once again :)
Stylish!
sometimes reminds Replay's intros.

It has it's atmosphere.
simple but effective, yet still gives me a bit of a 'meh dunno' as it's just more of the Tractionesque same-same.
looked nice, but not my cup of tea
pretty cool.. was nice to watch this at evoke..
nice. but i can't say i was engaged...
Expected more. Just looks like a sequel of 2019.
Pretty.
neat.
should have won.
good one
clean stuff. good work.
Nice !
I like it. Clean and great ambient soundtrack.
sweet
Very goodlooking!
Very lovely!
glow
Well that's different and it makes you actually feel something and sort of analyze urself from 3rd perspective what is happening. And this is good. The best demos don't aim to serve you a prechewed story but let you be the story. Virta uses very uncomplex building blocks to present you this experience.
Not the style I like.
Nice. :D
great tune and magic visuals, only starfield/dots in the middle where a bit off in my opinion.
nice one :)
Gargaj :D
pretty conceptual
Stylish++ Love the fine tuned particle fx, especially the particles hitting dark balls. Very good and moody quality indeed!
Sleeping pill. Way, way, way too boring.
Form over tech. Always appreciated.
Great effects, beautiful colors and tripping atmosphere. Lovely :)
nice. sync
okay for visuals in a dubtechno set, but not my style of demo art...
This is one of my favorite demos from that party.
Especially liked the song except for the tiny scratchy noises that seemed a bit out of place.
Overall very enjoyable, thanks guys for the demo!!

nice clean source too. reinforces my belief that democode doesnt *have* to be a detrimental mess.
second
for the source :)

oh no thats not 2011
ok
very nice visuals i like the brainstorm, üml stuff.
Cool
very aesthetic
:)
Liked it a lot.
very beautiful. That's the good old traction style i used to love and missed a bit in the last productions..
Appreciated it on the Big Screen.
Good production, fitting music!
Good production, fitting music!
Put me in a nice state of mind.
I like the simple style, but the music (no offence gargaj) makes it appear too long.
awesome looks!
a bit too slow paced, but <3 anway
love it!
beautiful, thank you
great great stuff!
nice nice!
yay ^_^
Great demo!
nice and minimal, just the way I like
nice music.
Beautiful demo. Really like this style of music too.
Wonderful!

Cool :)
Relaxing.
Another piece of art! Indeed it's Relaxing. :)
Ossom.
total coup d'foudre. the last scene is a bliss.
fresh'n'clean.
Of course.
A real success. Gargaj's best track and beautiful little particles combined with suggested geometry and mature pacing. The intro scene reminds me of an art installation where fluorescent lamps were set standing straight on a field just under big power lines.
nice late writeup for my favourite preacher-demo.
thanks.
thanks.
I really like this demo. Such a peaceful mood and beautiful particles. Music and visuals work perfectly together. Thought I thumbed it already but apparently not so here is the late thumb. Also was very cool to read the story of the moods and situations of how it was made. It is really nice to see the human side behind the productions, demo making is such a weird combination of technical and artwork. It is nice for me to see the emotion and thoughts that other people have and it makes me feel ok to know that other demo makers that I look up to are not just machines and they also work hard to make something that other people might enjoy. It can be challenging putting your personal work out in the world to be judged, at the same time dealing with the realities of life and the real world around you.
Another
for the stories.
