MORGAN-HOCKER GROUP ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF VUSIC
NEW SOFTWARE ALLOWS USERS TO CREATE AND ATTACH ANIMATIONS TO MUSIC CDS
PLEASANTON, CA -- August 10, 2001. Morgan-Hocker Group today announced the release
of VUSIC. VUSIC is interactive music response software that "listens" to music
CDs and generates colorful animations in response to the beats. VUSIC works with
ANY music CD put into a CD-ROM drive.
VUSIC's robust features allow unlimited creative possibilities in the generation
of spectacular patterns that synchronize to music. No other product delivers
such an unprecedented array of creative tools, providing complete control over
all aspects of these animations. Users can create custom graphic elements or
choreograph original animations which can be saved and attached to music tracks
on a CD or shared with others. In addition, these animations can be encoded
onto the music CDs themselves.
In order to promote a virtual VUSIC community, Morgan-Hocker Group has created
a modular architecture that allows users to share graphic elements with each
other. New free graphic elements, such as brushes, fills, color palettes, and
effects, are made available to users for downloading. Users can also design their
own graphic elements, which can be uploaded and made available to others.
Users can create original animations for specific songs on any favorite CDs.
These animations can be saved and attached to music tracks on any CD, so that
VUSIC will play that saved animation whenever that particular music track is
played. These animations can be shared with others or they can be permanently
encoded onto a homemade CD or a master CD for duplication. VUSIC can detect
these animations on the CD and play them automatically.
VUSIC stands out above the competition in its flexibility in creating custom
graphic elements and original animations. The ability to save these animations
and attach them to music tracks is unique. "VUSIC is primarily a creative tool,"
says Michael Morgan, general manager of Morgan-Hocker Group. "Our hope is that
users would become excited about creating their own graphics and choreographing
their own animations to music. This opens up a whole new world to musical performers
and recording companies who can now enhance their CDs by encoding them with
custom VUSIC animations. We envision every music CD having VUSIC tracks that
play with every song."
VUSIC is ideal for raves, clubs, music festivals, or any venue where music
is played. VUSIC can easily be configured to respond to any kind of sound input,
such as mixers, microphones, guitars, synthesizers, etc. When VUSIC is projected
onto a large screen, the audience will be able to experience the music visually
as the projected images will be synchronized to the music automatically. VUSIC
is currently projected onto a large screen at Fox Studio's new movie park, FOXPLORATION,
in Baja California, Mexico. VUSIC has also been used at popular dance clubs,
including the House of Blues in Orange County, CA.
