interactive (sexy)visuals :: improvising with particles

During 2010 me and my friends funded SexyVisuals (www.sexyvisuals.com), a group of VJs for performing realtime interactive live visuals in the clubs of San Francisco.

Among many of the effects, we had this simple particle effect. The interesting part is probably the sinchronizaton of music and shapes, which is done by me as I improvise to the music. The music was in fact a random song from youtube, and the videos was recorded realtime as I played.

Looks a bit like crepuscular rays. Do you exclude areas from bluring? how many steps needs the blur for this quality, I would like to implement a vfx like this for mobile gpus via glsl es, but they aren't powerfull enough for complex per pixel ops. A raymarcher was possible (using distance fields) on such devices including your ao ideas, which aren't thus expensive

Insane, this isn't normal radial blur, is it? How do you achieve this light spread?

The visuals really enhance the dubstep
