SavingScreen

The prompt for Genuary 2024 Day 6 is Screensaver and Day 10 is Hexagonal

To bring SavingScreen to life, I have coded it in #SonicPi and #Hydra

Hydra provides the animation for the Screensaver and SonicPi delivers a saving of the screen type of soundscape through the equations used in regular Hexagons

Poem

Saving Screens
Erasing the monotone
Aspect of Waiting
As the Screen is saving
Not wanting our Eyes to be Alone
To see what goes next in the Scene
