So we can create audio to keyframes in After Effects, how cool is that.
Repeater
The AE repeater allow us to duplicate a layer shape and multiply it to multiple copies of the same shape vertically and/ or horizontally. I also varied the scale and the position of the circle array. This created an evolving, rhythmic composition where each instance responded in harmony.

Audio Exercise
I decided to use Dystopian Mall by Incorporeal Visions Deluxe, it has a lot of mild beats and textures which I thought would be quite fun to see how it projects well.
Circle Repeater
I came across a YouTube shorts where I saw how a line can be arrayed to form a circle of lines. I decided to play around with size and rotation timeframes.
Axis + Scale
I decided to change the axis of the first shape from left to right, kind of like a twist effect while changing its size. Before changing to the second portion, I ensured that the size of the shape will be the same as the shape in the second part of the video.
Rotate and Scale
For the final portion of the clip I went with a simple minimal clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation animation together with a scale keyframe animation. Using After Effects' audio-to-frame sequencing, I applied Repeater with some transform animation to create movement based on sound. The rotation added variation, making the motion feel more dynamic. The Repeater effect helped amplify this by duplicating and offsetting the shapes, creating a rhythmic pattern.

Audio Spectrum
I came across a tutorial that teaches how to add audio spectrum to After Effects. So fun!
