It cuts out at around 15KHz. I haven't had time to investigate, this was a time boxed kata, but I liked the result. It's a precursor to possibly building one of those visualisations you used to get in Window Media player in the 90s. I always liked those as a kid. I'm not looking for advice btw, cheers :)
