I'm glad you liked it.  The version presented in class was displayed using the fullscreen API on a projected screen and had a sync'ed techno music soundtrack.

Graphics, Music, MP3s, and Reference files included here: (4MB) http://luis.net/projects/processing/final/finalProject.zip

I couldnt find a MOD audio processing library, so I streamed an MP3 instead. There is a JAVA FMOD Library available which means a processing version isn't that far away.  It would have made the audio portion occupy 60K instead of 3MB. MOD Audio was a key component in demoscene productions. It was the only portion of my project I wish I could have done the same.

FYI:
MOD files are like MIDI files with the waveform instruments embedded into the file. Creating them was comparable to programming back in the day (creating patterns, looping).

This is a great collection. I think it would be great to add them to the Processing examples for web and distribution. Are you up for that?
