I was reading your posts on the huge display builds that you have done with LED strips and wondered if my project might be of interest.
I am trying to create an LED fur coat similar to one I saw at Burning Man this year:

You can see the LED coat in this video without much effort!
I would like to make a sound-to-light version of this, possibly smaller to start with (a jacket to make as a prototype, also because of power requirements).
My obvious questions are this: What resolution do you think this jacket uses (30, 60 or 144 LEDs) with the obvious next question of what power source do you think he is using - as from what I can see any such project would require huge amounts of power! I was thinking of 60 5050s using multiple lion batteries in parallel.
Now I have quite a bit of programming experience and some electronics too (some years back also with RC), although I have never attempted a project like this before. I would appreciate any comments or pointers and was wondering if your driver might be a way of achieving this?
Many thanks!
