DevLog: Rhythmic pattern scenery

I’ve been trying to get scenery to generate dynamically based on repeating patterns in the music that I detect. It is... not going very well yet. Here’s a video with my dumb test shapes that constitute the scenery for now. As you can see they sorta kinda align with things happening in the music, but ideally the red pattern should match the kick drum and the green pattern should match the snare and only the snare is matching. But I’m fairly confident that I’ll get there.

I know I’m always using the same music. Be assured it works with anything, but I’m wary of putting out videos that use copyrighted music. I might grab some royalty-free stock music just to have some more video music content handy beyond my own work.
