Augmented reality audio spectrum visualizer for Kyoka's live performances, designed and calibrated specifically for Mutek 20211123 performance in Barcelona based on water theme. Best viewed in darker surroundings for optimal visuals with lower frequency audio but good for any audio spectrum visualization. Various elements in the scene such as rain and moon sparks, responds to various frequency bands. The moon rotates as it slowly moves around the room. The user can adjust the amount of clouds (clear - cloudy) by using the slider. Enjoy!
