Thank You:

To Michael Briscoe for getting me into Quartz Composer in the first place and teaching me how to use it, Jay Hutcheson for helping figure out what to do next and all of the rest of the creative team at UTC, Laura Walker for being patient when I was stumped and trying to troubleshoot something and Apple for giving me such an amazing tool to build it with.

Cubism was designed to be a simple, colorful, fun and (slightly) useful way to visualize the music in your iTunes library.  This is my first iTunes visualizer so I especially welcome your comments, bugs, ideas and suggestions.
