What it does
  Plays your own files: MP3, AAC/M4A, FLAC, Apple Lossless, WAV, AIFF, CAF, AC3; M3U playlists in and out.
  The deck: main deck (LED time, 32-band spectrum, marquee, transport), ten-band equalizer with presets,
  playlist. The modules are separate windows that dock together like magnets and move as one, at pixel
  scales from 1x to 4x, with the standard macOS window buttons.
  The 3D pane: the album cover becomes a jewel case turning slowly over one of five worlds:
    Synthwave    audio-reactive terrain built from the live spectrum under a striped sun
    Dark Forest  a moonlit river with real reflections, procedural bark, needles and moss
    Dunes        dusk sand and a chrome skull whose eyes light the scene
    Neon City    textured towers, shopfronts, rooftop billboards, wet asphalt, a ticker spelling the track
    Deep Sea     caustics and light shafts, a school of fish, a wreck, a lure pulsing in the dark
  Each world re-skins the deck; a hue slider recolours any of them. Media keys and Now Playing work.

How it is made
  Native Swift and Metal. A hand-written renderer with a retro pixel grid, vertex snap, dither, fog and
  planar reflections. Every texture, building, coral and moon is generated on the Mac at launch; the one
  bundled asset is the skull mesh of the Dunes world (8.6 MB of the 12 MB app). Idles at
  a few percent of one core and drops to 30 fps when nothing is playing. No web view, no game engine.
  The only third-party asset is a public-domain (CC0) skull mesh from the Khronos glTF sample collection.

What is next
  New worlds and features in future updates, included in the one-time purchase.
