ProjectM (http://projectm.sourceforge.net/) is a visualizer for music/sound that is an OpenGL port of a Windows DirectX visualizer called Milkdrop. It was included for years as the default visualizer for XBMC (and then Kodi that is the newer replacement name for it). I just discovered today that someone (Revmischa) had ported ProjectM to be a plugin for iTunes! This is a pretty sweet set of visual effects for music and now you can run it within iTunes. I can imagine using Airplay to send it to an Apple TV even. It cycles through a ton of different effects, so I can only show a frozen snapshot of one.
All you have to do is download it and run the .PKG installer file and and you have the awesome ProjectM visualizer in iTunes. IN fact, the latest version of Kodi (15.2 Isengard) seems to have broken ProjectM in it (crashes it almost immediately after a second or two), but this works great with the latest iTunes! I found it while trying to find a solution to getting ProjectM working on FireTV with Kodi (I found an Android version that will side load and work with Amazon's music player and Pandora, etc., but Kodi seems to quit when I launch ProjectM on FireTV (doesn't seem to multitask there for some reason).
In any case, the iTunes Visualizer version of ProjectM can be found here: https://github.com/revmischa/projectm/releases as the file iProjectM.pkg (direct link: https://github.com/revmischa/projectm/releases/download/v0.9.1-beta/iProjectM.pkg).
