Skyline Bands

The whole skyline as an equalizer: towers ordered by frequency rise with their bands over a wet, reflecting street.

Classic Studio

Window Field

Camera pushed in until the windows are the meters: each column lights floor by floor with its band.

Classic Studio

Traffic Trails

Long-exposure light trails on a highway in front of the city, each lane a band.

Classic Studio

Sign Flicker

Abstract neon signs on the front towers, each its band, igniting with a flicker kept within the flash limit.

Classic Studio

Rain Parallax

The skyline through three planes of rain over a flooded street that mirrors it.

Classic Studio

Rooftop Pan

A slow camera orbit around the landmark over the rooftops, the ranks sliding against each other and the bass at the heart of downtown.

Spectrum rangeHow much of the 40 Hz to 14 kHz range the visual spans, from the bass up. Lower it to give the bass and mids more of the bars	Audio	range	1	Yes	No
Frequency scaleHow the bars are spread across the frequencies. Log spreads them by octave, mel by how pitch is heard, and linear by hertz, which gives most bars to the highs	Audio	select	log	No	No
Auto-levelLifts every part of the spectrum to its own recent range, so quiet highs move as much as loud bass. A note held for several seconds settles lower as it adapts. 0 shows the raw spectrum	Audio	range	0.8	Yes	No
