The End Of The Ocean is an instrumental post-rock band based out of Columbus Ohio.
Engulfing listeners in waves of eerie nostalgia and sorrow, the ambiance of The End Of The Ocean becomes a self-voyage of life’s ebb and flow unfailingly finding a beacon of hope at the horizon.
“a fiery fivesome with a complimentary illusory style that works through nice movements in instrumental build-ups and breakdowns to create the perfect mixture of astral projection and aggro-release. The End of the Ocean has a penchant for crafting tunes that move freely from beautiful to trippy to heart-tugging to fist clenching without seemingly overly-contrived, just well crafted.” – toledo.com

The Author and The Illustrator

The Author and the Illustrator wrote and recorded 10 songs from April 2010 to January 2012. We released these songs with the title "Session I", in hopes to continue this pattern of writing sessions until we wrote some sort of magnum opus. On January 6th, 2012, we released Session I, and played our last show with vocalist Greg Janssen and guitarist Evan Croteau. Where do we go from here? We're not sure, but it's somewhere.

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules:
1. Separation: avoid crowding neighbors
2. Alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors
3. Cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors
With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way, creating complex motion and interaction that would be extremely hard to create otherwise.
...there is an anisotropy with regard to this cohesive tendency, with more cohesion being exhibited towards neighbors to the sides of the bird, rather than in front or behind.
...In flocking simulations, there is no central control; each bird behaves autonomously. In other words, each bird has to decide for itself which flocks to consider as its environment. Usually environment is defined as a circle (2D) or sphere (3D) with a certain radius (representing reach).
Birds:
Philip Bowles
Phil Bridges
Phillip Burmood
Andy Eaton
Luke Whitaker
Other Birds:
Micah Sukany
