Unknown Lines

Inspired by Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album cover, I created this music visualizer using three.js. The song featured is an unreleased track from my friend Ben Mark. I also released a YouTube video documenting my creation process.

An Average Packing

Combining my previous two generative works, this is a work with packed circles that take the average color of their neighbors, using the k-nearest neighbors algorithm (In this case with k=7).

Thanksgiving Break

Over Thanksgiving Break 2020, I created this visualizer using p5.js. The song featured is an unreleased track from my friend Ben Mark. I also released a YouTube video documenting my creation process.

Ghost Coast

Inspired by Glass Animal's latest album Dreamland, I decided to create a music visualizer for the song Space Ghost Coast to Coast with GLSL and p5.js. This was my first time using both, but I love the end result.

PCK MTN

My first piece of generative art. Inspired by various posts on r/generative and this example by Daniel Shiffman (notably his use of target circles per frame). Color Palette comes from Childish Gambino's STN MTN mixtape.

Color of Average

My second generative art. Inspired by this post on reddit, I created some sort of naturally changing gradient. It has a nice pastel look to it, and works with a handful of source points that rotate the colorwheel while the rest of the points take the average value of their neighbors.
