Check out what Fakespace Labs has innovated under the name of
Fakespace Music.  Billed as "music-driven virtual reality," Fakespace
Music's Soundsculpt Toolkit uses cues extracted from recorded music to
create geometry and control object behaviors in a virtual
world. Christian Greuel of Fakespace drove the project, which debuted
at SIGGRAPH '95. Beautiful, expressive, surreal, high-tech,
high-performance. The best combo of music and VR I've ever
experienced. Great potential for visionary artists.
