Description: Bandero is my second foray into musical visualization. The raw source for this piece was created on-the-fly, using an excellent application called ColorMusic written by Shinichiro Hirama. ColorMusic literally creates music from colors, by muving the mouse a cross a multicolored image to create interesting musical patterns, and is a much more freeform way of composing music than traditional means. For this piece, the raw data was obtained from this screenshot. After cleaning up the source file (the actual source is about three times as long as the finished piece) and changing the sound sample, Bandero was created. Being limited to one audio track by the program, the sound from this piece is not as rich as that in some of my other works, but it has a nice melody, somewhat in the style of latin guitar.
