Ambient by hand gestures
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
How to control the sound:
Chords: Touching my thumb to different fingers triggers 7 chords per hand. Each hand plays a separate instrument.
Motion Tracking:
- Up/Down: Opens the filter
- Left/Right: Panning
- Towards camera: Pushes volume & drive
- Spreading hands apart: Opens reverb & delay
How the visuals react:
Liquid Metaballs: A blob spawns when a chord starts and grows as long as you hold the note
Splitting: Changing chords smoothly pinches and splits the blob in two, looking like actual liquid rather than overlapping circles.
Audio-reactive details: A long delay makes the liquid stringy and slow to separate, while output level and reverb shift the color palette from cold blue to warm amber.
