The Passive Audio Visualizer lets the user sit back while the music (audio) plays and gets visually represented on the screen as arcs. The arcs increase in size and change color depending on the range of the Amplitude and the Bass values for each instance of the audio.

The Active Visualizer takes this one step further and lets the user enjoy music visually in the form of a live painting that keeps generating based on the amplitude. In addition to just sitting back and watching the art unfold, the user can also use their mouse and click around the canvas to create a trigger of strokes thus allowing them to directly interact with the sounds without actually being able to hear them.

The user will be able to play the loaded music (will add a feature to be able to add music manually or live audio through mic) and watch it be visually represented on screen.

By pressing the ENTER key, the user can toggle between the passive and active visualizer. Toggling also resets the canvas so each time the art will be different. The user can actively engage with the art by clicking with the mouse. Clicking will make a bunch of new blobs each of which is scaled according to the amplitude. The user can press the SHIFT key to save the artwork.
