Turns audio into generative artwork. No AI, no server — the same file always makes the same image.

NOTES

The idea

Audio is reduced to a fixed description of itself — pitch, energy, beat — and a renderer draws that description. Same file, same renderer, same seed: the same image every time. No AI, no server.

What it does

  • Use an audio file or the microphone
  • Export a PNG at the size you choose
  • Renderers are swappable, so a new look is a new renderer, not a rewrite
  • A debug view shows every renderer side by side on the same test input
  • Animation is driven by frame count, never by the clock

VISUALS

SAMPLE DATA ONLY
A symmetrical mandala of circles, polygons and stars on a dark green ground
Note Mandala — from a synthetic test tone, not real music
A mosaic of irregular coloured cells in green, orange and violet
Voronoi — same synthetic tone, a different renderer
A glowing green branching tree on a dark ground
L-System Tree — same synthetic tone, a different renderer
Stacked wavy white lines on a dark ground
Line Art — same synthetic tone, a different renderer

DETAILS

NOTE
Identical pixels are guaranteed per renderer version; across different browsers the match is very close but not promised
BUILT WITH
TypeScript, Vite, Web Audio
