TauInDark

The prompt for Genuary 2025 Day4 is “BlackOnBlack” and Day 10 is “Tau”

TauInDark uses a mixture of Hydra and LiveCodeLab to the Black on Black component while the coded SonicPi composition uses Tau to arrange the sounds

Poetry

The motions repeat
As the Grid may be
Incomplete
But the motions sweep
As the pixels are seen
