A decent computer and lots of volume is recommended.
Well, due to the fear of slipping behind, I felt I better start learning the new Flash language, Actionscript 3, and at first glance, one of the coolest features is definitely the SoundMixer.computeSpectrum function.
This is a quick experiment which uses the spectrum data of a streaming mp3 to trigger animation. Although it dynamically reacts to the beat, there are elements of randomness in this example so the animation / visualisation is different every time.
I’ve seen a few Actionscript 3 visualisations before, though they tend to follow the graphic equaliser tradition, whereas I wanted something a little more creative.
I will release some source code as soon as I have built this into a robust class. I intend to build an easily customisable music visualisation program which can build visualisations from your own graphics with various configurable parameters.

Hey man, you’re pretty good at programming. Nerds are few and far between up here in Detroit. I’m more of a PHP man myself, but I’m going hardcore into this actionscript thing. Trying to find the synergy between Javascript, PHP, MySQL, Actionscript, XML, and HTML. lol. Anyway just thought I’d drop you a line. Good luck on the sound spectrum class.
Wow, this is in every rpesect what I needed to know.
Fucking sweet!
Might have some work for you man, this kicks ass. Is it random too? seems different each time a bit.
Good stuff.
that`s definitely the best as3 visualizer i`ve seen. i love the song and the graphics!
and i will code this for my own too!
the real innovative thing is, that you don`t visualize frequencies but use kickbeats to make living graphics move. i love this kind of abstraction.
a good idea for following versions: not to scale the hole graphics container but move every graphic for its own.
thank you for that great inspiration!
that blew me away. i would love know how you did this! i anxiously await the day you post the source.
ve se aprende isso caco.. seu porra.
w o w… now that’s inspiring. well.. really your whole site is :)
hi, any progress or new thoughts? i am very interested in this, create animation that dance to the beat … also, is there any actionscript library that animate human movements?
fantastic
any possibility to get this code?
I’m actually in the process of writing a tutorial for Kirupa on how to do this, so stay tuned and in the next couple of weeks I’ll have numerous examples ready with source code!
Hey cool stuff here. I’ve just started experimenting with the soundSpectrum. How are the source files coming along?
Dude….thats inspiring!
I am a third year interactive media student trying to create artwork based around visualisers and would lovea look at the code!
If you get the chance check out my facebook group about the project!

awesome…truly awesome!
Wow, this is awesome lovleyness…. Any code listings yet? :)
