The purpose of the program seems to be providing a sort of audio-visual experience through the use of a code, which will dynamically analyse a given audio track. The visual side is provided by what seems to be a circle of spots, accompanied by dynamically generated Cone Shapes, which respond directly to the audio. I unfortunately had some issues with the RawGit, wherein the 3D cones would not spawn, but I still found the experience to be pretty mesmerising overall. Judging by the linked Youtube video, I think this is a very creative and effective way of visualising audio in a way that is different from many other visualisers, wherein the main focus is often showing the amplitude.

It's very interesting to look what has been done with the code, and while I do not fully understand some of the more complex aspects, such as some interesting syntax and functions, I do feel like it is making more sense to me now that I've seen it in action. It's very fascinating to me what can be achieved through so few lines of code. I'm unsure what has caused the RawGit to not display properly, especially considering that it worked in the Youtube video. Perhaps if I were more savvy I'd be able to pinpoint a cause, but for now it remains a mystery to me.

I feel this is a really nice program, and a very interesting and creative use of code. We've spoken before about your familiarity with code, and it really shows in this program. It's unfortunate that I could not display it properly, but from what I can tell this project has a lot of passion behind it, which is always lovely to see.

Great job!
