Your music becomes something to watch. Put on a song, sing into your microphone, or pick one of the built-in SomaFM radio stations, and the screen fills with colour that moves with the sound — swirling, pulsing and flaring in time with the beat. Turn the big screen in your living room, or the small one in your hand, into an audio-visual art exhibit.
It never looks the same way twice, so it does not get old. Colours shift, patterns spiral and zoom, and the picture can wrap itself around slowly turning shapes, which means an evening of music is an evening of something new on screen instead of the same loop over and over. If you remember the visualizers that came with music players in the 1990s, the ones that sent fire and smoke rippling across the screen, this is that feeling brought back and made far smoother.
Put it on and forget it and it will drift between looks by itself, which makes it easy company for a party, a long work session, or the end of a day. Retire the looping fireplace video while you are at it: turn the music down and enjoy our flame effects, except this fire never repeats itself. Prefer to steer? Take the controls and choose the colours, patterns and motion yourself.
