Ok. so then the proper way to deal with music/sound would be analogous, that there should be shaded/dimmed circles of the right music (there is an initial complication involving sync times, but that is a minor issue by comparison. In terms of the overall effect, where the calculation is done (which data is sent and which is calculated) is an issue with the implementation details.
