Audio Game built on the physics of sound/audio dsp concepts?

I want to plant the seed for a video game with a somewhat unique angle. I would like to build a game simply on the premise of waves and audio effects as a mechanic. Perhaps movement and game play is tied to interesting sounds, or perhaps the gameplay uses sound synth techniques as part of the reward system or experience. I haven't learned the basics of unity, but I'm curious how this might play out, or how to pull this off.

 

I create music videos and wanted to analyze the audio spectrum programatically without having to 'play' the music out of the speakers. This article has some very helpful information and examples. I assume the same methods would be used if you were going to generate a level from music:
