AS3 UI idea: music targeting ONLY visualization
Thursday, February 28, 2008 
By now we've all seen some pretty brilliant and creative uses of the SoundMixer.computeSpectrum method to show us great visualizations of audio. However one thing I haven't seen yet is using this same method for audio that one cannot hear.What do I mean? Muting the audio but displaying the spectrum data. And that might open up opportunities to create specialized music whose main point of existing is to generate desired visual results.
If you're after soothing PSP type movements, you might end up creating audio that specifically targets this type of response. The music on its own might be completely unlistenable on its own, but create amazing visualizations for your project. Something running under you interactive UI... kind of like the PSP or even a take on the TiVo background (subtle animation).
Just a thought that might gain some kind of traction.
