None of these help me understand what the sound is like because they’re all time-domain which runs way too fast for humans to intuit. Visualizations in the frequency domain are a lot more natural.
As someone who grew up with Milkdrop, these seem a bit dull/minimalistic.
Wow, these are beautiful! Are you open to others using these in applications? There is no license in the repo so I am unsure :)
On mobile when I scroll few pages down while only looking at images, it is impossible to tell if caption is above or below image, where it belongs.
I guess you cannot see the almost-invisible borders of the images. They group the image and text together a bit better. But yeah, the design fails to be accessible in less ideal viewing conditions for sure.
thanks for the feedback! i’ve increased the spacing on mobile, so it should be clearer now which caption belongs to each animation.
It hurts me that 160 sound visualizations later I am less interested in sound than I would've been with one, just one, compelling viz.
