       | https://github.com/jberg/butterchurn integrated into
       | https://github.com/captbaritone/webamp within my desktop
       | environment in the browser
       | https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS. I listen to soma.fm
       | streaming on my website every day with MilkDrop running in
       | Desktop Mode.

       | react to the actual music.

         | Hmm I guess it would be fairly easy to hook music into Electric
         | Sheep actually. I wonder if anyone has done it already.

           | It's not quite that easy, but it _is_ doable! Spot and I
           | worked on it a while ago. Sheep are, at their core animated
           | fractal flam3s with post processing. And those have a latent
           | space. :)

           | I think he made something commercial with it, but thanks for
           | reminding me... more than a decade has passed and compute is
           | much cheaper now, I might try something with it again. (Or
           | better yet, you should!)

       | I'll have to try this out.

       | every recent project I know (I know if this one and
       | https://github.com/jberg/butterchurn) reimplements Milkdrop. It
       | would seem like there should be a set of Milkdrop presets that
       | makes it look like Geiss, but I could not find one.
       | 
       | Does anyone know a working visualiser more similar to Geiss?

       | Love projectM!
       | 
       | To this day I use it for VJ work and it always gets rave reviews.
       | 
       | With the OSS project I've been able to build a great workflow for
       | previewing and picking the best patterns for my aesthetic.
       | 
       | If I had one feature request it would be a way to take a set of
       | patterns and an MP3 file and render an output video faster than
       | real-time. It's much easier to use pre-rendered videos and tempo
       | adjust them in VJ software than doing live rendering.
       | 
       | Edit: GH Issue discussing rendering: https://github.com/projectM-

         | You might dig NestDrop for queuing up presets and then
         | outputting the visuals to a Spout video stream, which most VJ
         | softwares can ingest. Or you can install the OBS Spout plugin
         | into OBS and then record the full rez visuals directly. Here is
         | a tutorial I made demoing it - https://youtu.be/yHqs-

         | 
         | This also allows you to inject live video into the Milkdrop
         | engine. Here is another tutorial I made -

         | I did a ton of curation of presets and here my cream of the
         | crop pack containing 9,795 presets -
