Music vis was designed to be a visualize songs based on frequency and volume.
More specifically, the visualizer is essentially a glorified frequency chart where the lower frequencies are in the middle and the left and right sides are the higher frequencies. The Y axis, which is mirrored around the center line, and the color gradient represents the presence and strength of that frequency. Every time the song comes acros a volume spike, it rotates the color gradient slightly to make the visualization more interesting.
