Here's another test:

I'm still a bit paranoid as if it matches the music. I think it does,
but it may be my brain trying to make sense of it.
I lofted a bunch of circles with their radii being on the sound wave
values. This time instead of sampling all the values of the sound
wave, i only loft the crests (when n-1 < n > n+1). The surface that
changes color does sample all the values. To follow the music the red
ring (not the colored surface).
