Sometimes things don’t turn out exactly the way you want them to. This is one of those times, kind of. When creating the first visualizer, which can be used here, I created the visuals completely before even thinking about what to trigger with the audio. This was a mistake, because of poor planning, it meant that I had this kind of cool looking “thing” with nothing really to do with it. Anything that was added seemed to take away from the simplicity and over-complicated the visuals making it jarring on the eyes, or I found myself adding stuff just for the sake of adding something. So I guess that is why this visualizer turned out the way it did. The music that was used was Forever Lost, by God is An Astronaut. I felt that in order for the visuals to work, they would have to be progressive like the music, so that is why they might feel a bit slow.

For the second one I tried to make smaller scale visuals that could work at the same time as others, so it was less schizophrenic. It kind of worked, but at the same time, not enough time went into it to make it what I wanted it to be. It was definitely a learning experience, and in the long run I learned a lot.  To add to the large amount of failing, processing helped out by spitting out an incredibly cryptic error when I attempted to export the programs to a format that would be view-able in browser. I was attempted to export the processing files with processing js, however I learned that it currently doesn’t support Minim, which is used for audio processing. So here is another video!
