I am finding now that I am making massive jumps from one idea to another again, simply because of the amount of new information that I am finding out. However today I feel like I have turned a corner in terms of the direction that I want to take.
Proccessing is a programming language primarily aimed at creating visuals and graphics, though this is certainly not all you can do with the platform. I feel like this is a strong platform for me to work from based upon the research I have done on it.
During my research I have stumbled upon people using a library within processing called Minim,which enables the capture of FFT data for use in Processing. I also managed to find a short series of tutrorial's from a user named "Switchboard" on Vimeo, which show how to get some basic functionality coming from within Processing.

Over the next few days I am going to work through his tutorials and try to get a better grasp of what is happening in the programming language itself.
I feel like my "Scope" is narrowing now. I certainly feel like between Processing and M4L I will be able to achieve the creation of graphics from audio, which was has been the main aim of my project for some time now.
From hear on in, I will be concentrating on music visualization using M4L and Processing, with the aim being to create an application for studio use, both in a creative sense and for use as a clinical audio measurement device, using FFT spectral analysis.
