My idea is to control a small set of Christmas Lights alongside with the music I program using MSP in order to create a visual sequence. In the previous video, you can see a huge display where the whole house is decorated with Christmas lights, but my project won't go that big. I plan on building a small structure which is illuminated smoothly alongside with the rhythm of the music, like you can see in the following videos:

This is a much more simpler example of installation with only three LED lights, in the original video, the lights dance to the music.

I am still undecided between two external designs.
 
-My first idea, is to light a cylindrical container. My main inspiration is the device ALEXA from amazon, but in my case, it would be a transparent cylinder where you can see the light changed.

-The second idea, is to create a rectangular exoskeleton with Christmas lights, or LED light stripes hanging from it as a waterfall. In the video, we can see a huge cube with the LED lights on the sides of the cube, I want my lights to be hanging from top to bottom.

INITIAL DEVELOPMENT


I have been following two main tutorials, in order to create a hybrid code with the instructions of the reference projects and my final idea. The main projects I follow are:


DEVELOPMENT
-[https://maker.pro/arduino/projects/christmas-light-show-with-arduino Christmas Light show with Arduino] This is the main tutorial for the first video of this imput. Here is a step by step of the developer's project. The code is also available.
-[https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Music-Rhythm-LED-Lighting-Box/ Arduino rhythm LED light box] This is the second  part of my tutorials.
