The visualizer.
The visualizer is generated with a custom renderer written in C# using SkiaSharp, replacing Adobe After Effects in my audiovisual production workflow. Rather than relying on a traditional compositing application, I developed a dedicated rendering pipeline that analyzes audio in real time using FFT spectrum analysis, generates a fully configurable waveform, and renders finished videos directly to H.264 through FFmpeg.
The renderer was designed specifically for high-performance music visualization, featuring configurable frequency mapping, temporal smoothing, dynamic band weighting, parallel frame rasterization, and deterministic rendering that produces identical results in both live preview and final exports.
The result is a renderer capable of producing 4K visualizer videos at approximately 1.5× real-time speed — roughly 50 times faster than my previous After Effects workflow. Git gud Adobe.

Astro is my mascot — A black alien cat with vivid red eyes and hair with red-dyed tips.
Astro embodies the creative energy behind my work: Bold, curious, and maybe a little rebellious. He's become a visual staple everywhere I create content, from music branding to Twitch emotes.
