Guitar Hero in Grasshopper and Circle Packing

This video shows what can be done in Grasshopper with a little ingenuity. The designer uses a program to capture audio of him playing his guitar, then uses a Grasshopper plugin called gHowl - available here - to display that audio information as spheres in Grasshopper.







This is a long video, so skip towards the end to see the cooler stuff this designer produces. This video shows various kinds of circle packing done in Grasshopper, feeding in different parameters to determine the size, shape, and orientation of the circles. The most interesting results in my opinion are when he starts using pixel colours in images as the parameters.
