Many Returns

One of Karel’s piano takes, grown into a phase choir — many copies of the same loop at incommensurate lengths, drifting through phase forever. Watch the hands sweep one clock at different rates; wherever two coincide, the field blooms.

The choir builds itself once you start — a fresh ghost enters every few seconds. Give it thirty seconds hands-off, or author it yourself below.
