But it's not like the representation of sound is moving right to left, like a heart beat monitor, is it?
Are we effectively falling into the sound, so that at each instant we 'see' the noise, but not what's coming towards us because we only see one slice at a time?
And what do the x and y axes represent? Are they volume and pitch?

Thank God we've come so far.

Apart from having one of the best names of all time he also produces this incredible audio visual experience.
Does anyone out there understand how the pictures can correspond to the sound? I am mesmerised, but I can't work out how the two relate. There doesn't seem to be a relationship between position or movement of the light and the sound.
Whichever way, he is making some great music and lovely pictures, but is it really what he says it is? I want to trust the guy, but the things he does look like magic.
Is he really a witch?

What do you make of it?
It feels a bit like a cultural hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. The transitions seem effortless and the sound always seems to be in the right place.
How is it as a feat of programming? Would like to hear a professionals view.
Enjoy.

Comment on Belgium has regional elections on Sunday, voting machines use USB sticks and store votes on a Linux partition which users will be prompted to format when using Windows, deleting all the votes in ~tech

What do you think of a small ads model, like papers used to have in the back?
Totally segregated, so that you'd only look at it if you chose to. Your users must accept that there is an economic reality to you running the site, so for two minutes they could click a couple of ads. Would that leave you independent, in your view?
Or is that totally abhorrent?
Most people seem to be bothered by the lack of consent in current advertising models. Could a voluntary advertising model work? Possibly with a democratic veto, so the community could decide who is allowed to promote themselves.
