Ripple Tank
Two-source interference seen straight down: the classic physics-lab tank, hyperbolic nodal lines crossed by expanding wavefronts.
How Ripple Tank moves with your music
The fringe geometry answers to two numbers, on slewed carriers so it never strobes.
Like every Luxaudica scene, Ripple Tank is generative — drawn live from the music rather than played back from a file — and deeply reactive: bass moves the big shapes, treble the fine detail, and the song's build-ups and drops steer the whole arc. It holds one intentional colour family per moment and shifts with the song's harmony, and it settles when the music stops.
Make it yours
Shape Ripple Tank live with intensity, speed, warp, glow and Punch (one lever for how hard the picture rides the music), grade the colour, and save the result as a look you can recall by keypad, MIDI, OSC or a sentence to the AI copilot. Send it fullscreen to any display in deep 10-bit colour.
