I see music as a skeleton.
And I love to create a visual skin that brings it to life.
I'm Cedric aka neoyume. I'm French/ European, living in Tokyo, Japan.
Since 2011, I have been creating music visualizers and lyrics videos. Always driven by a deep passion for synesthesia. Growing up, I was captivated by audio-visual masterpieces such as Rez, Electroplankton, Child of Eden, and countless hours spent tripping on Windows Media Player and Winamp visualizers. I also enjoyed listening to and watching music videos from artists like Björk, Supercar, and Shiina Ringo.
My visualizers go one way, from sound to picture. I also built Dessons, which does the reverse.
I treat a music visualizer as a work in its own right, sitting somewhere between the album cover and the traditional music video. A place where rhythm, texture, and emotion become visible.
what I do
I create music visualizers and lyric videos that grow directly from your sound.
I do not use templates or stock loops. Instead, I build a custom visual skin that pulses with your music.
Whether it is an 8-second loop for Spotify or a full-length 4K HDR journey, I bridge the gap between your cover art and a music video.
I transform landscapes, objects, or abstract scenes into a dynamic experience for your audience.

* My Approach to AI
Image production: Depending on your needs, I can work either with or without AI tools. When AI is involved, I exclusively use local open-weight AI (ComfyUI / Ollama). By running these models locally, I ensure your data remains completely private while reducing the environmental impact (carbon footprint) compared to cloud-based solutions.
If I'm using online AI tools (such as Google Gemini) for research or translation, I configure settings to disable activity logging and prevent data from being used for model training. This ensures that your project information is never integrated into the AI's public knowledge base.

From Sound to Screen
1. First Contact
Email me your track, the lyrics, your main idea, and your desired service. I'll respond within 48h (Tokyo time, GMT+9) with a quote and a schedule.
2. Launch & Art Direction
If you agree with the quote and schedule a 40% deposit kicks off the project. Then we'll meet online to discuss two art directions I'll prepare for you. We choose the one that fits the song and your identity best.
3. The Craft
Deep listening and reading:
Every project begins with hours of listening of your track and reading the lyrics. It's an occasion for me to get the structure, transients, textures, and the breath of the track.
Sonic Dissection:
I use your stems to isolate vocals and instruments, turning them into my favorite creative material: audio curves. You only have a "flat" master? No problem. I can isolate the elements in Logic Pro to ensure a high-precision audio-reactive result.
Visual Baking:
These curves drive every movement, light, and deformation in the video. According to the project we validated previously, I use everything from 3D and procedural systems to illustration and frame-by-frame animation to make the visuals "breathe" with the rhythm.
Refinement:
You receive a first render for feedback. We adjust the details to perfectly match the mood.
4. Final Delivery
Once the project is validated, and the remaining 60% of the total invoice is settled, I deliver the final master in your requested formats and resolutions.

Music vizualizers
lyrics video
Lyrics video: typography that breathes with the vocal.
A pure music visualizer reacts to the instrumental; bass hits, transients, the overall energy of a mix. A lyrics video adds a second, much more precise layer: the words themselves, animated and typeset to land exactly on the syllable, the breath, the pause between two lines. That timing is worked out frame by frame against the isolated vocal stem, not the master mix, so every kern, weight change and reveal follows what's actually being sung rather than the beat underneath it.
Where a lot of lyric videos default to a static background with text layered on top, mine grow out of the same 3D, audio-reactive pipeline as the visualizer work: type moves through a real generated space, catches light from the same rig driving the rest of the scene, and can dissolve into or emerge from the abstract visuals instead of sitting as a separate overlay. Because one artist carries concept, animation and type design through the whole piece, the typography and the environment stay visually coherent rather than feeling bolted together.
Every lyrics video is built mobile-first in vertical 9:16, ready to post straight to Instagram Reels and TikTok, loop as a Spotify Canvas, or upload to YouTube in Shorts or standard 16:9. Longer tracks get the type paced across the full runtime; shorter loops carry just the hook or chorus line, matched to the format's actual attention span.
Examples:
Superbus; On the RiverHand-lettered typography animated with Rowbyte Plexus particle networks, released as the track's official lyrics video.

independent
artists
I primarily collaborate with independent artists and indie labels. However, I'm also open to working with majors who value creativity and innovation.
I thrive when working with artists who care about meaning, coherence, and integrity in their work. Therefore, if your project is driven by authenticity and intention, we'll likely make a great team!
In addition, special appreciation goes to artists and projects that advocate for social justice, equality, and progressive values. I'm supporting plant-based movement and promoting cruelty-free practices.
I work comfortably in English, French, and (intermediate) Japanese contexts.
