Every needle dey follow di music: im length na di level of one frequency band, so di whole word go bristle wit di track and settle to short, even spikes when e quiet. Each bar fit take band from random shuffle, so neighbour needles go differ, or run from bass to treble left to right or from di middle go outside. Hard kicks dey flash di letters and push every needle out for small time.
