I've heard this music somewhere before.... Telefon Tel Aviv I think? why isn't it credited?

Sorry about that -- yes it was an oversight on my part.

I had included this small credit in the commentary on the website: "The song used is Fahrenheit Fair Enough by Telefon Tel Aviv."

This isn't enough -- I've pushed a changed showing a song credit at the bottom-left of the canvas that appears when you first load the page.

I also added a song credit in the github readme.

Telefon Tel Aviv is one of my favourite bands, I hope they get more listeners!

So cool! Would love to be able to easily make it full screen (maybe I'm missing the button for that) Bookmarked

Thank you! Right now you can open the controls at the top-right and then adjust the width / height of the canvas.

I'll try to make it easier with a single click

Eh a lot of that ‘deep dreamy’ stuff ends up looking so same-same - I don’t need to look at endless various of ‘dog faces and insect body parts and glittering gemstones’ you know? I want to see actual weird stuff, bizarre genometry, a sense of space that’s mind-bending. Maximalism is not the be all end all of trippy visuals.

Check this one out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGuBpKqtHdY And this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd3ZQOzyquo&t=385s The AI generated ones are getting really good nowadays.

It would be cool to have something like the first one, except generated in realtime and you get to "steer".

If it works by zooming in slightly each frame and then asking the AI to refine the image to better match the prompt or whatever, we could steer through the world by changing the centre of zoom.

If generating frames is fast enough it could feel like flying a spaceship through a psychedelic environment.

IMO the most realistic generated psychedelic images were made by Google's Deep Dream 10 years ago. It seems like it's been mostly forgotten about after the advent of DALL-E, Midjourney, etc.

I kind of miss the early AI days, where the AI felt closer to my subconscious than me.

Agreed, it made some seriously wild stuff. Assuming you’re talking about this: https://research.google/blog/inceptionism-going-deeper-into-... Here’s an example I generated in 2015: https://www.wandereurope.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/drea... Source image: https://www.wandereurope.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/mars...

I understand your point. There's "trippy visuals" and then there's "that's what I saw when the DMT hit" - My comment was really leaning towards the latter.

Personally, i don't like them at all. This grainy feel with a lot of dark/black colors etc. i would not use this while tripping.

Why does a personal opinion gets downvoted?

I would not use this visualization when i trip. If the OP is interested in a more indepth i would provide it but otherwise, its a product which is directly correlated to a personal experience.
