DanceAsSpirallingChaos

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableraph : “Chaos (But Also Spirals)”, DanceAsSpirallingChaos is visually coded and layered with Locomotion Choreo code and Hydra’s glitchiness to showcase a chaotic spiral routine. The audio is coded in SonicPi that was made for Drone Day 2025.

Poem

Chaos and Spirals
Spirals that are vital
To the essence
Of the Chaotic
Flashyness,
Moments of aerobatic
That is
Chaos and Spirals
