UnsatisfyingArena

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph:"Unsatisfying", UnsatisfyingArena is coded in Hydra & LivecodeLab. It shows a potential unsatisfying level of sound manipulation and the different ways one may not be satisfied with a livecoding piece.

Poetry

What is it that one desires?
Can the thoughts be summoned?
Or does it lack the ability to inspire
Couldn't be fantom’d
As there was no ability to truly manifest
The inner thoughts, the inner depths
But maybe,
It can be seen
