PLAYGROUND 006 / SOUND + MOTION
Blue Calx
A pulse beneath the surface. Layered sound mapped onto blue-silver threads.
About this piece
A blue and silver thread field pairs a metronome with layered sound. Brush upper threads to play drums and lower threads for bass, then scroll to move through the music.
Field notes
Upper threads play drums, lower threads play bass. Move faster for rolls; your rhythm stays in front while the score orbits.
Press Play, then scroll down for Auto or up to sustain a harmony. The score loops in either direction. Drag the listening head to explore the same timeline.
Move either panel by its header. Adjust volume, tempo, scroll sensitivity and metronome volume independently. The metronome clicks once per beat; set it to 0% to silence the clicks.
Source
Blue Calx uses the same playback controls, listening view and looping timeline as Lichen. Its score, percussion, bass gestures and blue-silver artwork have their own adapter.
