EchoedWords

For the 3rd entry of Poems for NaPoWriMo/ NaPoGenMo 2025, the Hydra code with aid from OBS visualizes and distorts the poem to represent a distorted echo of the words. The additional sounds were coded in SonicPi.

Poem

With their pace
Own space
Own room to roam
To speak
To elevate
To teach
