Audio Radial Line - bright

This listens to your computer's microphone and draws the contents of the audio buffer as a radial line. Also made a dark version: Audio Radial Line - dark

This is part of a series exploring the visualization of audio that was presented at a d3.oakland meetup. A big list of the demos from this series can be found here.
