Subject: Synaesthesia 1.3 - visual representation of music from CD

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----


Hello,

I am releasing version 1.3 of Synaesthesia, a program that represents
music graphically in real time. New to this version is support for X,
and more control over the CD, so that it can used to play CDs and watch
them while you work.

Features: 
- - Displays sound from CD or line input, taking full advantage
  of 16 bit stereo and surround sound information.  
- - Fully functional CD player 
- - Svgalib support 
- - X-Windows support

Synaesthesia seeks to provide not just a visual representation of sound,
but a representation of how sound is percieved. Its display combines
information about the frequency, location and diffuseness of sound.

The display is sufficiently detailed to make it possible to distinguish
several individual instruments, singers, or special effects on screen
by their location, shape and color, and sufficiently fast to distinguish
individual drum beats and notes.

Synaesthesia is available from:

Title:          Synaesthesia
Version:        1.3
Entered-date:   16JAN98
Description:    Synaesthesia is a program that represents music
                graphically in real time as coruscating field
                of fog and glowing lines. It is intended as a
                visual accompanyment to music.
                
                Synaesthesia can read sounds from CD or line
                input, and can display its output in an X-Window
                or full screen with Svgalib. It doubles as a
                fully functional CD player.
                
                Synaesthesia seeks to provide not just a visual
                representation of sound, but a representation
                of how sound is percieved. Its display combines
                information about the frequency, location and
                diffuseness of sound.
                
                The display is sufficiently detailed to make
                it possible to distinguish several individual
                instruments, singers, or special effects on
                screen by their location, shape and color, and
                sufficiently fast to distinguish individual drum
                beats and notes.
