Introducing our music visualizer:
enter a song and get a unique spiral art piece

Our goal for this project was to visualize music. Both music and art have the ability to make us feel strong emotions and we wanted to directly connect both forms. We built an algorithm that detects different components of music (liveliness, danceability, energy, instrumentalness, valence, loudness, mode, acousticness, and key) using Spotify API and creates unique spiral art according to the song. Our x-y gantry with seven colors then draws the colorful spiral art onto a piece of paper you get to keep!
