Harmony Search Visualization

While perusing my favorite blog aggregator (hacker news, anyone?) I came across a nice visualization + article of a metaheuristic algorithm called harmony search that looked interesting. I had never heard of harmony search before and my understanding of metaheuristic algs is shaky at best so I decided to give it a read. The article was informative, but the visualization really expressed to me the power of this technique. For those who want to see for yourselves, it's located here.

For those who don't, a nice screenshot:
