How Does Our AI Create Audio-Reactive Glitch Art?
Our AI doesn't just listen for loudness. It performs a deep structural analysis of your song to create abstract visuals that genuinely move with the music's energy, rhythm, and mood.
DEEP ANALYSIS
AI Reads Your Song's Structure, Not Just Its Volume
To create visuals that feel connected to the music, our AI analyzes your track across 8 different dimensions. It maps the song's energy curve, identifies sections like intro, verse, and chorus, and builds a frame-accurate beat grid before generating a single visual.

- Intro/Verse/Chorus detection
- 5 rhythmic pacing modes
