Amazing. Meditating upon time-lapsed video backed by drone music is something I've been addicted to ever since I first saw Baraka. If you like this and you're not aware of Baraka - watch it now, along with its sequel Samsara and the similar Koyaanisqatsi films.<p>And obviously, the Baraka soundtrack is a magical fit for this stream!
This really illustrates the power of music. My first impression was OK this is mildly interesting, but I guess I'll click the music before closing this tab forever. Maybe the hyperlapses got better, but turning on the music made the video mesmerizing. Now I'm hooked. Great job!
Beautiful, modern tech art. I've been pretty skeptical of the hyperlapse products, but something like this seems to put it in the right setting/context. Wonderful.

Unfortunately, not all browsers play nice with Video.js/HTML5 video and the SoundCloud widget. If that's you, check out the live stream I'm running right now on Twitch!<p><a href="http://www.twitch.tv/andrewtorkbaker" rel="nofollow">http://www.twitch.tv/andrewtorkbaker</a>
It's interesting getting effectively a random sample of the entire world's use of a photography app, it's very authentic.<p>My personal favourite videos are the ones shot out airplane windows, it's a cool idea and they look awesome.
The one feature that would be nice to see added, and would help the curious, is Back/Forward buttons, as there are several clips I would have liked to have linked to and re-watched, while others could be skipped.
I turned off the sound and put on Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass:
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4WlNj1TTqA" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4WlNj1TTqA</a><p>I skipped ahead to the 10 minute mark.
Great idea, I love it!<p>It could be interesting to try fade to black when a track is finished, cut clips on a beat or similar, but I wonder if you can since the sound is played in an iframe.
Maybe I just happened on a few bad videos, but my understanding was that "hyperlapse" didn't mean "regular video, sped up a few notches".
