While searching for vector generators and other “sci-fi/80s” graphic inspiration, I stumbled upon the open source animation, interactive, and design programming language, Processing.org:
While I personally do not have the programming skill to develop a visualization, I am intensely interested in integrating this type of program into footage processing, to where it could potentially interact with live action footage. While, I am not interested in visualization representing “data”- data in the form of sound waves, and axis points in motion, seem quite compelling. Any programmers up for a collaboration? We could collaborate on song selection, I could shoot the footage, and do the editing. 
Check out this music video done with Processing:

Great that you’ve found Processing. Paul Graham introduced me to Processing. I wanted him to make a visualization for my personal analytics under armor thesis. It seems the language and it’s uses has fairly developed since then.
yea, my mate ben (http://mrben.co.uk/blog/) might well be up for collabing with you. i know he’s feeling gouseion too, so drop that and that i mentioned it. dope design on gouseion’s site btw (i f**kin’ love his music).
That looks unreal! I downloaded Processing and stared blankly at it.
Wish I had some programming skills or that there was some sort of GUI tied to it that helped non-programmers get started.
