Spatial Synthesizer πŸŽ¨πŸ•Ή

What if geometry behaved like tone?

Spatial Synthesizer is an experiment in visual modulation. It adapts techniques from audio synthesis β€” FM and AM, where one sound wave modulates another β€” and applies them to space.

Here, those waves become shapes, and modulation becomes movement.

Adjust the knobs. Shift the frequencies. Watch as ripples interfere, intensify, or dissolve.

Behind the scenes: the algorithm breaks images into waves using Fourier transforms β€” a kind of frequency vision. From there, modulation carves new rhythms into space.

This is an instrument, waiting to be played.

Everything must and shall vibrate.
