Eye of the World
One Eye watching the world turn, drawn with code and played by your song: the globe turns once a phrase, the Eye's gaze is the noon line, and in one turn it reaches every one of the 195 countries, pinning each capital as midday reaches it. Above the turning globe, in a radar's scope, in a beating globe, across the flat map with a tally by continent, in the iris itself and from orbit.

Eye of the World visualizer: The Eye of the World preview
The Eye of the World, 8 seconds on a steady 120 BPM test beat, looping with no sound. The Eye above the turning globe, its gaze a beam of light onto the noon line. As midday reaches each capital a pin rises and the Eye's pupil follows it; by the end of the turn every one of the 195 countries is pinned. The live preview at the top plays the same look: pick a song there to watch it follow your own music.

| 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 | 1 | Set by you |
| 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 | log | Set by you |
| 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 | 0.8 | Set by you |
