For this week's challenge : Spirals, I decided to bring back LiveCodeLab for an Audiovisual coded narrative of spirals named
I wanted the movements to not only represent a spiral in shape but also depict, spiraling upwards and downwards . This was achievable through using the sin/cos/tan functions , wave function and time with modulo function.
The audio added is to maintain the feeling of this orbit being in a constant spiral. This constant sound allows the spiraling effect to not only be heard and seen but also be sense in a state of “distress”
To play with the code, copy and paste it and then put it in the Livecodelab's site to see how the code functions.
As commonly seen in these WCCChallenge submissions by me, this post will contain a video, poem and the code to the submitted piece.
Spiraling as the noise bounces
Bounces to the left
Bounces to the right
With no regard of the concept of depth
The concept of pace
Just knowing sometimes the colours or bright
And other times it needs to be dimmed
Needed to be simmed
With the spillover needing to be trimmed
To the continue with the rest of the steps
The rest of breaths
Ready, willing to pounce
