Abstract Audio Visualizer

From vjmedia


I made an abstract visualizer that reacts to increases in amplitude in a song while generating a randomized visual.

There are the three overarching steps to this project: Audio playback and processing: This simply involved playback of an audio file (an MP3 in this case) and drawing certain information from the audio to interpret and send to the visualizer. In this case, I read the amplitude of the song. Reactive visualizer There are libraries and a series of objects in the “jit” family of objects that would allow conversion of audio information into matrices of visual information. I used the “jit.mo” family, but "jit.catch" also creates matrices of audio that can be processed into interesting visuals as well.

I borrowed heavily from this tutorial: https://youtu.be/Klh9Hw-rJ1M
