Title:		Synaesthesia
Version:        2.0	
Entered-date:	07AUG99
Description:	Synaesthesia is a program that represents music
                graphically in real time as coruscating field
                of fog and glowing lines. It is intended as a
                visual accompanyment to music.
                
                Synaesthesia can read sounds from CD or line
                input, or piped from another program such as
		an MP3 player, and can display its output in an 
		X-Window or full screen with Svgalib. It doubles 
		as a fully functional CD player.
                
                Synaesthesia seeks to provide not just a visual
                representation of sound, but a representation
                of how sound is percieved. Its display combines
                information about the frequency, location and
                diffuseness of sound.
                
                The display is sufficiently detailed to make
                it possible to distinguish several individual
                instruments, singers, or special effects on
                screen by their location, shape and color, and
                sufficiently fast to distinguish individual drum
                beats and notes.
