BlobOfMass

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph: " Creatures ”, BlobOfMass is a creature/entity coded in LiveCodeLab with its soundtrack coded in SonicPi.

Poetry

Blobs are blobbing
With hopes of their season
To perform their treason
But is there a way of it stopping?
Is there a way of it skipping,
Skipping a beat?
Or these blobs want to continue their treats
As they venture after their formation
Into the streets
Into the seas
Into the streams
To gather not only useful information
But to keep their blobbing
For more blobs to come in
And commence their flipping
as others prepare to slip in
