Because I do both music and animation, I would love to hear about your
results. I don't use any mapping of one data set to another - I either
compose music to the animation or compose an animation to the music

(www.dennismiller.neu.edu/animation.html  warning: long load times and
serious compression artifacts ahead)  but I am always interested in new
options.
Best,
D.
