Today's MinaCoding Prompt is Blue. BluishBlues will be coded audiovisually thru LiveCodeLab and SonicPi.

• The visuals are layered by animations coded in LiveCodeLab

• The sounds are coded in SonicPi using a concept of shadow maths and colour shuffling, where in this case the sounds are made through the values of different blues. As well as their shadow/shuffle counterparts to add variance to the soundscape. So when watching, you are experiencing both blue as a colour and a sound. Slowed down after by 40%

Poem

Bursting of Blues
Brightening with their hues
Belonging to more than a few
Blues like the sky
At various times
Blues like the reflection
Seen on water interactions
Bursting of Blues
Blitzing with their hues
