Spectral Loom
Freeze your live sound as a spectrogram image, then paint the picture — smear it, brush energy in and out — and hear the picture you painted.
The canvas is already alive — audio is gesture-gated.

Spectral Loom treats the spectrogram as an editable magnitude image (after J.-F. Charles, “A Tutorial on Spectral Sound Processing,” CMJ 32:3, 2008) and resynthesizes it with a capped additive oscillator bank. Aesthetic kinship: Ryoji Ikeda’s clinical data-spectral visuals.
