- People making ambient, generative sound scenes
- Worth noticing
- Each circle represents a sound: its size sets base volume, its distance from the listening point changes loudness, and its position shifts stereo.
Field notes
The instructions describe several ways to shape motion: throwing a circle sets it rolling according to swipe speed, while a slow release places it. Circles can also be muted or sent into an outer silent zone. The settings include reduced-motion and no-animation options, and the page says saved arrangements stay in the browser on the current device.
