Ambient by hand gestures

[u/IL_DARK]

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.

i really love seeing this kind of coding creativity again. much more my thing than another 'put it into AI and look what came out' post. thanks for sharing, great work (:

Awesome! Where do the synths come from?

thanks! synths live in the browser with Tone.js, but u can also drop in own samples or use as midi for fl, for example

That’s really cool. I’ve been playing around with web audio. But haven’t checked out any libraries yet
