    If you like this sort of thing, I highly recommend checking out C. Allen’s work. The visuals and music are both really impressive, in my opinion the best out there: https://youtu.be/OP7sTQQ0Blw

    If you want to approximate an X-Y oscilloscope on your system, check out https://github.com/timstr/oszilloskop

    This means this is also the perfect audio visualisation ever. You see exactly what you here.

    The Oscilloscope Music scene has really come a long way! I love the aesthetic and that got me started on a project to convert an old portable CRT TV into an oscilloscope. There's something really satisfying knowing that the visuals directly mirror the sound. Getting something visually pleasing while still sounding musical is a really interesting challenge. Hansi Raber from oscilloscopemusic.com even wrote his own software for that purpose: https://oscilloscopemusic.com/software/oscistudio/

    That music is an experience, really nicely done.

    Does anybody know if the executable will run under Linux?

    Oscillofun is the first one I've seen, and I still love the music:

    That has to be the fanciest packaging for a floppy disk I have ever seen

    How is this not a demoscène product? Cause it very much seems to be, though not mentioned as such in the text …?
