Toaster - Play any song and watch it turn into live code

Toaster listens to whatever is playing and writes it as live Strudel code: kick, clap, hats, bass line and chords, lit up as the song hits them, over scenes that move with it. Spotify search in the apps. Free, open source, in a browser or on Mac and Windows.
