Description
## Description of proposed feature
To be able to generate shapes based on the current in time parameter of the audio, mb eventually adding support for `.milk` configs for visualizations

the most basic example of audio-visualizations, would be a simple db/lufs-meter or oscilloscope:

more complicated, smth like this:
