| Fantastic idea and implementation! Just FYI, it seems that in the
| music community, there are quite some complaints about how
| Spotify distributes the income for artists. I don't know the
| details so no further comments from me. But I think it would be
| great if this project can be abstracted into an indie Web Audio
| visualisation lib. I would be keen to try it with my project

| Cute idea and great execution. The first track I tried [1] has no

| It doesn't sync to live audio it records/grabs. It uses the
| Spotify API that provides rythmn/intensity mappings for most
| (all?) songs. So basically the web page asks the API which
| song you're currently playing on Spotify and what BPM it has
| and it renders the visualization accordingly.
