# Genuary2025_BlackTau

# 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

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

## Code

### LiveCodeLab

```javascript

BlackOlive = color(59,60,54)
simpleGradient black,BlackOlive,black

stroke black
fill black
22 times
    scale (time % 10 + 1)/5
    move wave(0.03),0.01, 0.01
    line 2 , sin(time % 6)
    move
    peg sin(time % 3), wave(0.003), wave(0.03)

```

### Hydra

```javascript

s0.initScreen()

src(s0).diff(noise(1,2,1).luma(0.9)).modulateScale(src(s0).scale(0.75),0.5).modulateKaleid(src(s0)).
modulateScrollX(src(s0),3).modulateRotate(src(s0).scale(()=> (time % 10 + 1)/8)).out()


```

### SonicPi
