Visualizing Orchestral Instrumentation (need feedback)

Howdy, everyone.
I made a scene with 3D models representing the different sections in an orchestral that glow and scale as they play.

Scaling and bloom is controlled by the instruments audio stem whilst colour is controlled by MIDI velocity. I had to do each instrument by hand but the combination of MIDI and audio elements makes for very responsive visuals I think.

My concern is this bloom. I used two bloom modules in series because I felt like 1 wasn't enough but I'm not sure anymore... Am I wrong in thinking that the amount of bloom in this video is just painful or is just my monitor?

All feedback is appreciated :)

Hey, I like it.
About the Bloom it feels a bit nervously flickering to mee - maybe put a higher value of smoothing on it. So for me it is more the flickering than the amount. but yeah, with this amount it is hard to see that it is actually 3D..

And that the spectrum is not filling out the complete space is freaking me out a bit but maybe you want it that way?
