Open source 160 sound visualization experiments

None of these help me understand what the sound is like because they’re all time-domain which runs way too fast for humans to intuit. Visualizations in the frequency domain are a lot more natural.

Wow, these are beautiful! Are you open to others using these in applications? There is no license in the repo so I am unsure :)

On mobile when I scroll few pages down while only looking at images, it is impossible to tell if caption is above or below image, where it belongs.

  • I guess you cannot see the almost-invisible borders of the images. They group the image and text together a bit better. But yeah, the design fails to be accessible in less ideal viewing conditions for sure.

  • thanks for the feedback! i’ve increased the spacing on mobile, so it should be clearer now which caption belongs to each animation.

It hurts me that 160 sound visualizations later I am less interested in sound than I would've been with one, just one, compelling viz.
