Fabulous! Love this stuff--video and the music, too! I was a bit startled when the throat-singer began--never heard them accompanied by instruments.

wow

Wow! This is completely fantastic. I love the way you used the audio data so that that visual is synced perfectly with the audio. That's something that I've wanted to do for a long time. Did you do spectrograms on the audio? The way you did the color is amazing. Great job!

@hdcolors Thanks. Actually, I ran across a brief video that "nudeanaglyphs" made (to give him deserved credit) and borrowed the idea. I ran the audio through a frequency filter and split the audio into 9 different WAV files. Then I wrote a program that processes raw WAV data, and produced a text file containing data bundled into 1/30 sec increments. This is the data I used to "drive" the lighting and motion for each frame while rendering the images in POV-Ray.

Excellent music choice, sounds like Tuvan/Japanese fusion.  I like how you use the flute amplitude to "push" the fractal around, and bells to light it up. Good magnification, I didn't see distracting moire, this was quite crisp and mesmerizing, very nice! Of course using a 3D raytracer to create 2D kaleidescope images is itself rather humorous and fun. - Drakonis
