Just a little test video.

Since i love syncinc stuff to music, i tried to do that with the C4D Particles!
What i synced to the music here were a "Turbulence" and a "Rotation" Effector (which were effected by a sound effector).
You can make the movement more fluent or choppy by increasing/decreasing the Low Cutoff in the Sound Effector. I just thought it looks interesting and hypnotizing when its a bit more choppy.
To visualize the particles i just used Spheres which i rendered with a Luminance-only Material and low Ambient Occlusion settings on. This gave me fast render times and a decent looking / interesting result. OFC we could achieve a more "particle" style look if we lower the size of the spheres, or if we render the particles with hair, but i really like spheres (who doesnt :p).
If you have any questions concerning the project, please let me know and i will be likely to answer you!
Music used:
1). The Flashbulb - Undiscovered Colors
