Happy Colors

"I should be doing more serious things, but when I received an update (Artmatic 4.6) that renders so much faster I was playing around... When I put together a system with nested loops that usually takes almost a week to render I could get it in about a day. - And as "happy colors" require a light sound that goes with it I made the dance like sound track that you hear.
Animation with Artmatic 4.6. Sound Absynth plus my old Waldorf Q for the "dance" sequence. And Ultrabeat for the rhythm."
