TangentFulModulo
For my first sketch of Mathober coded in LiveCodeLab, TangentFul will be using the 1st prompt of Mathober 2024: Tangent as well as the 29th prompt: Modulo. This is done by using the tan and modulo function in both the audio and visuals through overlaid LiveCodeLab sketches.
Poetry
Spiralling as the noise bounces
Bounces to the left
Bounces to the right
With no regard of the concept of depth
The concept of pace
Just knowing sometimes the colours or bright
And other times it needs to be dimmed
Needed to be simmed
With the spillover needing to be trimmed
