I love sound visualizations and this is a cool way to directly translate sound waves into geometry. My videos came out much less clean than Steve&#8217;s. In person (and in the dark) the patterns are very crisp and interesting and I was even able to duplicate some of his patterns by playing his YouTube audio through my Bluetooth speaker. Unfortunately they were hard to capture on camera so I plan to re-record most of these but I&#8217;m glad I was able to try it out without too much messing around. I also found a way to connect my keyboard to the Bluetooth speaker and am looking forward to playing around with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Laser + mirror + sound\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C-V1uXeyGmg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/danlacroix.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20220704_204446-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-328\" width=\"318\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danlacroix.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20220704_204446-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/danlacroix.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20220704_204446-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/danlacroix.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20220704_204446-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/danlacroix.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20220704_204446-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/danlacroix.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20220704_204446-2-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/danlacroix.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20220704_204446-2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">My version of the setup.
