Audio-Reactive Visualizer

Audio-Reactive Visualizer

Create immersive audio-reactive visuals with Three.js, GSAP, Spotify API, and Web Audio. Inspired by ARKx's work for Coala Music.

Overview

  • 🎧 Audio-Reactive Visualizer built using Three.js and Spotify API.

  • Converts music data into mesmerizing 3D visuals.

  • Ideal for:

    • 🎵 Music websites
    • 🧠 Creative coding projects
    • 🎤 DJs and live visuals


Key Features

🎶 Real-Time Audio Syncing

  • Integrates with Spotify API for accurate track metadata.
  • Syncs with the beat, tempo, and frequency data.
  • Uses web-audio-beat-detector for peak detection in any audio source.

🌀 Interactive 3D Visuals with Three.js

  • Built on Three.js for WebGL-powered rendering.
  • Includes waveforms, frequency bars, and dynamic particle systems.
  • Camera and object animations react to real-time music data.

🔁 Smooth Transitions with GSAP

  • Visual elements animated using GSAP (GreenSock).
  • Transition effects on beat drops and segment changes.
  • Combined with procedural shaders for natural flow.

🌐 WebGL Noise for Visual Complexity

  • Procedural 3D noise shaders add organic textures and effects.
  • Supports distortion, ripple, and pulse effects driven by audio.
