GrowthElectrique

For this week's Creative Code Challenge by @sableraph: "Electric Growth", GrowthElectrique is coded in Hydra & SonicPi to Repres**ent new entities of Lightning

Electric Process

• Remixed Lightning effects to have more variance then used Hydra & 360 view to simulate the remix even further.

• SonicPi sounds represent the process of the growth and transformation occurring with the lightning

Poem

The growth seen
As the Lightning seeks
To be more than a bolt
To have an effect on its jolt
It wants to wiggle
Beyond their limits
Pivots
To becoming more nimble
How, it keeps asking?
Thoughts rendering unable to keep relaxing
But the electric growth seeps
Into this scene
On how it is seen
For others to see
