For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRalph : HyperSpace, I decided to have colours play with their shadow companion via SonicPi
The picture above was made with Pixray in April with the following prompt :
"The Winter Spoke as the Summer Froze"
Which lead into
The Winter Spoke as the Summer Froze
The Summer moved as its will was told
For the speed of light
Was already a distance back
And the directions of left and right
To describe the movements were starting to lack
As it had directions beyond up and down
For the places, it was going, were devising new sounds
New ways to get around
When thinking of this quote, I decided that my approach to this creative code challenge will take the concept of HyperSpace from the following excerpt:
"While generally associated with science fiction, hyperspace-like concepts exist in some works of fantasy, particularly ones which involve movement between different worlds or dimensions. Such travel, usually done through portals rather than vehicles, is usually explained through the existence of magic." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperspace
During last week's creative Code challenge: Shadow Math, where I implemented the following equation: Length = height / tan(angle) to get the shadow of colours to come through. I realized that if something is moving faster than the speed of light, then it shouldn't be casting a shadow.
#Forest Green
ForestGreen = [34,139, 34]
with_fx :ixi_techno do
live_loop :forestGreen do
i = 0
use_synth :pretty_bell
play ForestGreen[i] ,release: 3
sleep [0.5,1,2].choose
if i < 4
i+= 1
end
end
end
#Shadow of Forest Green
with_fx :ixi_techno do
live_loop :forestGreenShadow do
i = 0
use_synth :pretty_bell
play ForestGreen[i]/Math.tan(70) ,release: 3
sleep [0.25,0.5,1,2].choose
if i < 4
i+= 1
end
end
end
As hyperspace deals with teleportation and potential movement across universes, the following adjustments to the previous code will be made
An increase of bpm between 300 to 500 will reflect the sudden change in velocity
Since teleportation involves two points as well as hyper travelling, I will be estimated that 3 shadows can appear/disappear at the time
The entry point of this transportation will be handled by a Hydra Sketch: Portal Entry
osc(20, ()=> Math.cos(time)/ 89 + 0.1, ()=> Math.sin(time % 17) + 0.2).colorama(()=> (time % 10)/9 + 0.02).kaleid([11,4,5,6,5,4,3,45]).diff(osc(20, 0.001, 2).rotate(()=> time % 360)).blend(o0, [0.94,0.75,0.31]).modulateScale(osc(10, 0),-0.03).scale(()=> (time % 11)/9 + 0.2, () => (1.05 + 0.1 * Math.tan(0.05*time))).out(o0)
