For Google TV Streamer

Music you
can see.

Visualiser turns whatever is playing on your TV into live visuals that follow the beat, the drums and the drop.

Version 0.3.0 · Android TV 10 or newer · Free

Screen recording from a Google TV Streamer, playing music from Spotify.

Built for the TV

Smooth on the Streamer.

Every scene was measured and tuned on the Streamer's own graphics chip, so it stays fluid on a 4K TV.

  • 42–60 fpsfor every scene, measured on the device.
  • Any appSpotify, YouTube Music, Plex: whatever is playing drives the picture.
  • Remote firstEverything works from the D-pad, with nothing on screen until you ask.

Six moods

Pick a feeling. It does the rest.

The app opens on a row of moods playing live behind the menu. Each one sets the scenes, effects, colours and pace, then keeps changing with the music.

Calm

Slow mandalas, drifting ink and growing patterns in cool blues.

Soft effects · gentle pace

Dreamy

Kaleidoscopic ink and endless fractal zooms in violet and rose.

Kaleidoscope · echo trails

Cosmic

Fly through fractal nebulae, tunnels and particle storms.

Space colours · deep travel

Flow

Everything, changing on the music's own moments. Switches to Techno when the tempo climbs.

All scenes · Auto techno

Party

Tunnels, lasers and particles at full intensity, with strobes on the kick.

Lively · bright

Techno

Cuts on the phrase, flashes on the kick, glitches on the hi-hat.

Full intensity · acid colours

Eight scenes

Never the same picture twice.

Scenes, palettes and effects combine on the fly, and every parameter drifts slowly between musical events, so the picture never loops.

Mandala scene
MandalaFolded line-work with trails that change colour as they age.
Tunnel scene
TunnelA flight down a 3 to 8-sided tube; each wall panel listens to its own frequency.
Fractal zoom scene
FractalAn endless zoom into a kaleidoscopic fractal, or a flight through one in 3D.
Reaction scene
ReactionLiving patterns that stream outward and regrow, seeded by every kick.
Particles scene
Particles32,000 particles in a flow field, bursting outward on the beat.
Lasers scene
LasersBeams through haze that sweep with the mids and flicker on the hats.
Fractal flight scene
Fractal flightDrifting through fractal space; the bass sets the speed.
Cells scene

How it listens

It hears the song, not just the volume.

BPM

Finds the tempo

A beat clock locks onto the music, so changes land on bars and phrases.

3

Separate drums

Kick, clap and hi-hat are detected separately, and each one drives its own effect.

64

Frequency bands

Tunnel walls and cells light up with their own slice of the spectrum.

Drop

Knows the sections

Breakdowns calm the picture; a drop cuts to something new.

Techno mode

Hits on every kick.

For fast music the director stops being polite. Flow mode switches to it on its own when the tempo goes above 126 BPM.

  • Kickstrobe, zoom punch, colour fringe
  • Clapinvert, new kaleidoscope count
  • Hi-hatglitch tears, laser flicker
  • Phrasehard cut to the next scene
