Hanukkah Lights visualizer: Hanukkiah Window preview
Hanukkiah Window, 8 seconds on a steady 120 BPM test beat, looping with no sound. A hanukkiah on a winter windowsill: eight candles in a straight row and the raised shamash, each flame dancing to its own part of the mix while snow falls past the glass. The live preview at the top plays the same look: pick a song there to watch it follow your own music.
