Rondelle, Listen

22 November 2021TEZOSIPFS

Tap to start sound. Tap to mute.

Inspired by the glass rondelles which hung from the windowsill in my childhood home. I ask myself what would these rondelles sound like if they reflected sound instead of light? To me, I hear hopeful harmonies of memories past, but they are falling in and out of tune and they are occluded by the muffled noise of time.

When a rondelle is minted, a transaction hash is injected into its code. All colors, patterns, sounds, and motions are generated deterministically from this transaction hash.

As the rondelle loads in your browser, a real-time generative algorithm writes tones, noise, feedback, and distortion to three looping audio buffers. During playback, oscillations in pan, pitch, and volume track the visual oscillations among the rondelle's color rings.

Rarity features are included. The least common rondelles are closed center, monochrome, smol, split color, and square.

Made with Web Audio and p5js. Minted on fxhash beta. Idlebit, 2021.

Experiments in interactive NFT: generative music machines; touch-driven visual art; playable NFT games.
