The Cosmic Web

The same slime-mold algorithm astronomers used to map dark-matter filaments, turned into a playable cosmic-ambient instrument. Seed luminous nutrients into the void; a living filament network grows between them, and the web's connectivity sings.

Click and drag to plant nutrient wells. The network's total energy opens the drone; its branchiness rings sparse bells; the brightest region pans the field. It drifts and sounds on its own.
