It's nice to go on with the same project, so I decided to go on with this: http://gimsech.tumblr.com/post/32277999309/summit-of-newthinking The previous version of the processing script did follow my mouse, so I wanted to try, what happens if a MP3 is controlling everything.

As a libary I didn't want to use a exotic one, so I did choose minim.

Now the sound controls the position of the triangels.

As a song I did choose a free CC-Song: Lohstana_David_-_Bucolique_Utopiste_-_INSTRUMENTAL_VERSION

I'm not satisfied.
