Sound visualisation on the cheap

Some people use software to visualise sound, watching the pretty patterns on their XBox 360s or PCs. That’s all fine, but after watching a few videos on Youtube about the weird things cornstarch does when vibrated at certain frequencies. At high frequencies interesting patterns appear followed by strange looping fingers. At lower frequencies, but higher volume the whole lot jumps around in a strangely organic way.

This was 60Hz at quite a high volume. I thought it important to check my neighbours weren’t in and to wear ear plugs.

About James

I'm just a person who likes writing software in their spare time. I'm not an "indie games developer" and am not trying to escape my day job and live in the happy world of games dev. I'm more like one of those people that used to write games in their spare time in the 80s. My stuff would be PD or Shareware if this were the 80s or 90s. It's good to comment on the posts in here :)
