BlobOfMatrix

For my 18th sketch of Mathober2025 coded in LiveCodingYoutube, BlobOfMatrix takes the 14th prompt of “Augmented Matrix” and uses the speed function to represent the matrix of Blob while the audio is coded in SonicPi through “Recursions” (28th Prompt).

Blobs finding themselves
In the depths
The depths of the matrix
For this portion of their day trip
