GoldenLetters

For the MinaCoding Prompt: Letters, I will be coding GoldenLetters in

play.ertdfgcvb.xyz , Hydra and SonicPi.

Design Process

The Letters and their movements are originally controlled by the code written in play.ertdfgcvb.xyz as it is an ASCII Based environment. Then it begins to be further manipulated through Hydra to come up with the finished product.

The sound will be composed in a way to mimic the flow of the letters as seen on the screen via SonicPi.
