Out
Five tracks, five films
Same rig every time, nothing art-directed twice — these are what came out. Each one is the app's own recorder writing frames to MP4 with the track muxed in, rather than a screen capture, so nothing stuttered on the way to the file. They start silent; turn the sound on when you are somewhere you can.
Signal
Where the difference comes from
A visualiser playing a preset gives everybody the same video. This one is wired to the track, and every stage downstream inherits what the one before it heard.
Track
Your music, live
A file, a browser tab, or everything the machine is playing.
Analysis
Split into bands
Bass moves geometry, mids move colour, highs sharpen the sheet. Tempo comes out too.
Chaos
Plays the panel
Not a preset cycler — it works the controls themselves on the beat. Sliders move, presets change.
Layers
Nine channels draw
Each takes what it was handed and renders in its own palette, at its own speed.
Out
Written to file
Frame by frame to MP4 at a locked rate, with the track muxed in. On your machine, not ours.
Change the track and every stage after it changes with it. That is why two people running the same rig do not get the same film — and why running yours a second time does not either.
Channels
Nine layers, back to front
This is the order they composite in — feedback at the back, subtitles on top. Each has its own presets, palette and speed, and each can be locked to the beat. Stack all nine, or run one on its own.
Back of the pictureFront
01
Milk
A slow feedback wash under everything else — wide, unhurried, and easy to sit a whole set on.
02
Ring
The circle itself: segments around a hole, with more than ninety presets driving geometry, colour and motion.
03
Spirograph
Harmonograph curves traced live over the ring, with their own weight, glow and trail length.
04
Lasers
Emitters you place by hand, sweeping and fanning in time. Drag them where you want them, or let Chaos play them.
05
Grid
A full-screen field of cells, ninety-odd presets deep, tinting and breaking up everything underneath.
06
Artwork
Your logo or cover art in the hole, held above the additive layers so it stays readable. Sixty emblems ship with it if you would rather pick one.
07
Shapes
Figures drawn as beams rather than fills, so they read as light. Describe a new one and it joins the menu.
08
Text
Five independent word layers, each with its own face, placement, effect and timing.
09
Subtitles
Every word of the lyric up as it is sung. Fix anything misheard, nudge the timing, and it holds for the night.
What it costs
The rig is free. The AI is not.
Everything that draws is free and stays that way. The paid part is the handful of tools that make new material for it.

Questions
The short answers
Do I need to install anything?
No. Ring 360 runs in a browser tab. Open it and it is running — there is no download, no plugin and no account for any of the visual side.
How does it react to music?
It analyses live audio — a file you load, a browser tab, or your whole desktop output. The frequency bands are handed to different jobs, so bass moves shape, mids move colour and highs sharpen the grid. Lock the tempo and all nine layers run on the same clock.
Will two runs of the same track look the same?
No, and that is deliberate. Chaos works the control panel itself as the track plays, so the run is a performance rather than a render. Pin anything you want held still and it will be left alone; everything else keeps moving.
Can I record a set?
Yes. It renders frame by frame to MP4 at a locked frame rate, with the track muxed in, so a slow frame costs time instead of quality. The render happens on your own machine and nothing is uploaded.
Can I use my own artwork?
Yes. Drop a PNG with a transparent background into the centre and the rig is built around it. Sixty emblems ship with it if you would rather pick one, and you can keep sixteen of your own.
Is it free?
The visualiser is free and stays that way — every layer, effect, preset, emblem and the recorder. The optional AI tools, which generate artwork, shapes, grid packs and lyric subtitles, are a paid add-on from $30 a month.
What do I need to run it?
A recent Chrome or Edge on a machine with a reasonable GPU. It draws on canvas at whatever size your screen is, so a bigger display asks for more.
