This is sweet, love the aesthetic.

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.

As someone who grew up with Milkdrop, these seem a bit dull/minimalistic.

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.

Wow, these are beautiful! Are you open to others using these in applications? There is no license in the repo so I am unsure :)

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.

Keyframe

would be helpful to hear the sound as the viz goes by.

Can you make them all move on repeat for a sine sweep followed by some misc transients
