I love the visual elements that drag the music out of the audiospectrum. As a visual person this speaks to me so much more than the traditional 2D way of representing music. It's really cool to see songs visually laid out in a 3D space.

What was your original intent with this project? I feel this would work very well for educational aspects, slightly comparable to sonic-pi, especially when it comes to how easy it is to make something nice.

Thanks that's great to hear! Initially I thought it would be a game/toy just because I personally thought it would be fun to build and share music like this. The bulk of early users seem to enjoy it just for this as well, although I have had some requests to add more utility for music-makers (some want a LudoTune VST and others potentially a desktop or iPad app). The educational angle has also been brought up a few times and I think that'd be great, so I'll probably be exploring that further too.

Former DAW developer here and Minecraft player here. This is a work of art. Really well done.

just want to say it's super cool and thanks for adding it to our world!
