Goldfrapp’s Lovely Head in Magnetosphere form

This is simply beautiful. The song is taken from Goldfrapp’s first album ‘Felt Mountain’ featuring the lovely voice of Alison Goldfrapp. I love how a part of the lyric from ‘Lovely Head’ grows and expands during the three-minute or so track.
How was this created? Well, read Processing artist Robert Hodgin’s blog on his idea of Magnetosphere and how it might be implemented into the new visualizer for Apple’s iTunes music player.
This new Processing technique could be the next step in how with visualise music. Even the Barbarian Group website’s page for Magnetosphere says that “We’ve had a ton of interest in it, and we’ve got some exciting plans, but it’s gonna take us a couple months to make it all happen.”
If Apple does take this concept, it would look breathtaking on every computer’s screen. This is especially true on my gorgeous 24-inch iMac!

Absolutely breath taking. Love this lil app, I want to test it out on my machine and also with other tunes. I don’t mind the words not being on there.
It really is amazing specially playing against such an awesome track.
