The particles visualizer on Google Play Music sets the mood with music “particles” you can see.

When listening to music on the cloud player’s web app you can now choose between two fullscreen views: the traditional panning album art or the new mesmerizing ‘particles animation’.
Despite the name the actual effect is more akin to ink moving around in water.
The heuristics choreographing the movement is, presumably, supposed to be in time with the music (though as with most audio visualizers I’ve ever tried, it seems a little hit and miss in that regard).
That doesn’t mean it isn’t beautiful to look at though. It’s hypnotic. The splodges dance in a 3D space, darting around, intertwining and changing color during the course of a track.
