What Lightpaint shows
Lightpaint reads the main outlines of the album art and has two very bright points of light trace them, each with its own diffraction star. The trail stays printed as on a long-exposure photograph: over eight bars the drawing appears twice, on each side of the cover, sometimes mirrored, while a third light draws a frame around it.
The line thickens on the beat. At the end of each phrase a shutter sweeps the screen and the drawing starts again in another style: the cover’s own colours, a single colour, or two neon colours. On the drop, one large drawing is traced in two bars behind the cover. Without artwork, the lights trace rosettes.

Questions about Lightpaint

Is Lightpaint a video?
Every frame of Lightpaint is computed live by your computer from the song’s analysis: tempo, energy, build-ups and drops. It never repeats from one song to the next.
