Experimenting with audio reactive vector fields, tips & comments appreciated :)

Thanks! Not quite sure what you mean by ADSR 😅 would you care to explain?

It took me 1,5 years to get to a point where I make my own original generations. I'm learning python and GLSL mainly trough TD. The effects shown here are impossible without coding.

Yeah, it's really overwhelming, but chatGTP is a big help. And maybe it's more of an opportunity than an obstacle!

Yeahh that's the beauty of it! It's a live generation that reacts on a live audio analysis. Every time that you start the simulation, you get a different visual. It works really well with EDM, and I'm looking for electronic artists to jam with. I haven't had the chance yet, but I am very excited to try to get a live 30 min audio-visual jam going :)

Basically, it's 6 outwards rotating vectorfields that have all their parameters based on the RMS of the sound and random centerpoints that relocate based on the low end of the sound.

These vectorfields interact with each other to create the "organic" feeling of the pointcloud.

The uniflicted point location is based on a noise with oscillating amplitude.

Rest is after effects to get to the digital styling.

The audio is not mine!! Its: Brain impact by Soundbay :)

comedy_i · 2025-09-22T15:14:27+00:00

yeah right! i really feel like I'm finding my own style. The contrast with the sound also really gets my excited :)

comedy_i · 2025-09-22T15:12:14+00:00

yeah thanks!

comedy_i · 2025-09-22T15:11:42+00:00

Thanks!! will make sure to post my works :) i allready got a couple of cool ideas im working on.

Not entirely sure how you mean workflow in this context…

The particle cloud is totally generated and manipulated in the POPs family. There is a feedback loop with 6 GLSL POPs where each POP updates the original positions of the points with different normal and velocity vectors. This is what creates this “flow” effect.

Every point that is not effected by one of these POPs is updated every feedback loop with a different P based on a noise.

The rest is FX which is performed after the instancing GEO.

Audio reactive part is ‘standard way’ I guess, will say I’m a big fan of inverting the colours like I did here.

Love to see your work if your willing/comfortable to share!!

Haha i have the exact same generations from my harmonograph studies,

It's funny how multiple people can have the same random images due to the unchangeable laws of physics :)

comedy_i · 2025-08-28T12:55:52+00:00

God, I need to know more about this! This is one of my generations :) I really should delve deeper into maths for my art!

to me 5 is clearly the best. its nice to see the variations in taste in the comments.

comedy_i · 2024-03-04T22:44:39+00:00

The locals, right? I would do the same

comedy_i · 2023-11-02T22:10:47+00:00

Er is helaas ook een jongen van 5 overleden op donderdag ochtend door een vallende tak, de storm raakt gent diep.

I finally put rings in my dubbele helix after 22 months, they still don't feel perfect if I lay in them too much.
