Why this project exists
The idea behind this visualizer is to connect sound and visual expression in a simple, portable sketch. I was inspired by realtime audio visualizers and by a demo of black hole ray tracing. That demonstration uses heavy physics and CPU ray tracing. For this project I wanted a similar aesthetic with interactive control and real-time performance, so I distilled the effect into a screen-space shader and a small set of audio-reactive primitives.
Design goals
- Keep the interface simple and immediate for live performance
- Use GLSL for most of the visual work so the sketch remains efficient
- Provide clear, commented code so others can learn and modify it
Who I am
I perform and compose under the name Mitsune The Maid. I write music that blends shoegaze, post-punk and experimental electronic elements. I enjoy integrating visuals with sound, and this project is a bridge between those two areas. I also work with Processing to explore realtime graphics for live shows and recordings.
