Description

Light Swirl moves like heavy satin turning over in a slow breeze. Soft creases build and fade across the surface, each one carrying a clean highlight along its edge. It starts as two soft discs pulled along a shifting gradient, stretching out into thin ribbons of light. The whole image warps through a slow noise field. Every fold is the curve of the surface itself, not a graphic overlay.

Usage Note

Built with native auto-motion and fully adjustable parameter controls, including optional audio analysis demonstration components. The system operates standalone with no external audio wiring required. To drive it with your own audio, route your audio signals to the corresponding parameters. All default and tested parameter ranges are documented in the DAT table.
