Music Visualizer with Foobar2000 API

A few months ago I posted about an audio visualizer app I've been building. It connects directly to some music players through their APIs, and foobar2000 is one of them. Else, it can connect to anything but you lose out on the API features.

The foobar integration gives you playlist access, album art, shuffle options, and volume control right from the app.

Once connected you get over 700 visuals (including Milkdrop). This demo shows two presets that support full flight with a controller.

Not sure how much to share here, so if these look fun, ask me anything.

IKANDY - Screen Capture w/ Overlay FX

This demo is for a certain someone who keeps hinting about this feature. Hope this is what you're looking for.

It captures any app.

IKANDY - Arcade...

https://ikandy.app/arcade/index.html

Some of you may have noticed when you install IKANDY there is a link to the arcade. To access the arcade copy your AuthorID available in the profile tab of the settings menu.

A throwback to the silly browser games available around 1998 with a few incentives. The games are pretty hard, maybe too hard, and a loaded mp3 player.

Might be available on your work computer. ;)

Good luck!

IKANDY - Thank You!!

Hi! 22 freaking members!!??

It warms my heart to know others share a similar interest. I couldn't tell you the last time I went to an art museum, but if a digital art version pops up, you might get me out of the house.

First, a few of you have really helped me out. Default presets, bug feedback, input from DJs and VJs, and the crazy guy with a 5 freaking monitor setup! I graciously bow to you all. The feedback you've given is heard, and my improvements aim to show that I'm listening.

This started with a privacy promise. You don't log in with an email, you don't pay me a subscription, I offer BYOK, and everyone is equal (you all get silly names). The latest version is now out. If you go into the About tab of IKANDY and don't see 1.2.0, please download the latest version and check out the new features. The funny part is my data gathering on 1.2.0 is even worse than before, so I genuinely have no idea what's going on out there.

I don't know how much longer the beta will be available, so grab it while you can. If you've ever felt like "if only I had a voice," I'm giving you the chance to shout.

IKANDY 1.2.0 is out.

A bunch of new scenes plus a visual pipeline glow up.

Download: https://ikandy.app

New scenes

  • Image Particles: a portrait dissolves into a swirling, beat reactive particle cloud, with a volumetric tornado form, subject as light god rays, and an optional reactive nebula backdrop
  • Mandelbox & KIFS: two raymarched 3D fractal scenes with music reactive backgrounds
  • Drip: audio reactive paint that splashes and flows to the beat
  • Block Bars: a 3D spectrum of lit blocks on a domed stage, with a glassy iridescent oil slick finish, mirror floor, six full scene palettes (Neon, Pastel, Ember, Aurora, Vaporwave, Spectrum), and an optional IKANDY wordmark

Visual upgrades

  • Reactive fractal backgrounds: color washes plus rim and halo glow that recolor with the music
  • Full post FX chain (bloom, chromatic aberration, grain, vignette, scanlines) now works consistently across every scene
  • Film grain rebuilt from scratch, proper fine random grain instead of the old static crosshatch
  • Smarter scene navigation: arrows and Random now stay in your current context instead of jumping back to MilkDrop
  • Curated the color LUTs down to the ones that actually look good on IKANDY's bright on black style

Under the hood

  • More reliable auto updates and offline behavior
  • Spotify reliability fixes

Windows will throw a SmartScreen warning on first launch (it's unsigned for now, cert is in progress). Click More info, then Run anyway.

Already on an older build and stuck on a "needs to verify your beta acceptance" screen? That's a leftover check in old versions. It's gone in 1.2.0, but those installs can't auto update past it. Just download and run the latest installer (link below), it installs over your current version and keeps all your settings.

IKANDY - Demo Saturday....

Hi everyone! We did it, 20 members! Let's lock this place down and make it private... j/k 😄

So, this video is a demo. I often share things here before they're polished, so you can enjoy the evolution.

This is an 8-image 2D sprite w/ a transparent-background (PNG) transformed into a 3D, music-reactive animation.

This could've gone one of two ways... a stripper or a dancing cat? Good call! Dancing cat it is. Coming soon!

WebGPU is so cool, and we're just scratching the surface.

IKANDY v1.1.4 — Disco Ball, per-scene god rays & smoother Spotify

!!Happy Friday!! - Some updates to make your weekend a bit more fun. Would love to see how people are using this. Let me know if you have any visual idea's.

Calling all Digital Artists, if you want in, check out my submission form on the website: https://ikandy.app

New & improved

  • New scene: Disco Ball — an HDR mirror-ball you can grab and spin, with god-ray shafts that catch the light
  • Volumetric god rays, now tunable per scene — each visual remembers its own light-shaft look
  • Richer fluid scene — swirlier motion, beat-driven splashes, and new color, viscosity & bass controls
  • Reorder your scene library by dragging
  • Generate AI scenes with Grok — xAI joins the AI scene-generation lineup
  • Auto-generated playlist cover art when none is provided
  • New bass-transient audio signal for punchier, beat-aware reactivity

Fixed

  • Spotify no longer pauses unexpectedly on startup or when you reopen it
  • Fixed the resume-trap where pressing play got immediately re-paused
  • Drawing mode no longer silences Spotify

Note for returning users

  • First launch of 1.1.4 shows a quick "What's New" page — your existing name and author ID are kept, no setup needed

2026 - Windows Music Visualizer

Apparently Claude thinks it's bedtime, so I thought I'd make yet another video. Tired of them yet?

If you've been following along, you know that here at IKANDY (team of 1) we've been working really hard to make something cool.

Hope you enjoy where it's headed.
