MF18M is an audio visualizer for the work of minimalist music composed by Steve Reich during 1974-1976 called “Music For 18 Musicians”.

The composition is scored for a mixed ensemble that includes four pianos, four female voices, three marimbas, two xylophones, two metallophones, a violin, a cello, and a clarinet or bass clarinet.

The music is organized into 11 sections, which are not explicitly marked but are characterized by distinct rhythmic and harmonic changes. The sections often flow seamlessly into one another, creating a continuous and immersive listening experience.
