I. Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Pixel Ballet is my first Visual PlugIn and was inspired by AcidSpunk and Geiss. 

Pixel Ballet works with the WaveForm and Spectrum data of Sonique to build images that I hope you will enjoy. Pulsing to the music ... color levels changing with the tempo -- these are just a few things I've attempted to add to bring to the listener a nice complement to the music they enjoy.

Pixel Ballet is a work in progress (late late nights) and is about 25% complete.
I would like to welcome all suggestions and comments so that I may
consider them as I continue developing this PlugIn.

Feel free to email me at bspangle@visolu.com.

I would like to say a brief thankyou to S°ren Holstebroe for letting me bug him
about some of the transforms I viewed in AcidSpunk.

It's boring but please read the Information section below before using Pixel Ballet.

Happy Viewing 
Brian
