ynaesthesia is a program that represents music graphically in real time as coruscating field of fog and glowing lines. It is intended as a visual accompanyment to music.

Synaesthesia seeks to provide not just a visual representation of sound, but a representation of how sound is percieved. Its display combines information about the frequency, location and diffuseness of sound.

The display is sufficiently detailed to make it possible to distinguish several individual instruments, singers, or special effects on screen by their location, shape and color, and sufficiently fast to distinguish individual drum beats and notes.

Synaesthesia runs under Linux or DOS. Windows version comming eventually (when I get time).

Features:
- Displays sound from CD or line input, taking full advantage of 16 bit stereo and surround sound information.
- Fully functional CD player
- Svgalib support
- X-Windows support

Version 1.3 features a fully functional CD player and X-Windows support. So you can run it in a window to watch and listen to while you work.

Or rig up a projector and add the ultimate lightshow to your party.

Or just watch it like a drugged out zombie.
