A waveform that is alive — a jagged polygon whose every corner drifts by a random walk. Hold it, and calm it to a pure tone or unleash it into stochastic grit.

Iannis Xenakis’s dynamic stochastic synthesis: the sound is drawn directly by a set of breakpoints that random-walk between elastic barriers. Drag up/right to tighten toward a pitched tone, down/left to let it dissolve.

Sound + motion start on this tap. Then drag anywhere on the field.
