WCCC_Blue

WavyBlues

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph:"Blue”, WavyBlues is coded in LiveCodeLab, Hydra & SonicPi .

LiveCodeLab & Hydra are used to visualizes various shades of blues while the audio is coded SonicPi with an aquafication of a color matrix (since aqua is a type of blue and a previous WCCC entry: https://blog.illestpreacha.com/wcccaqua)

Poem

While taking this ride
While looking onto the sky
As we take this flight to swim
In these waters that are open
Not knowing which direction will be right
Or wrong
Or rather left
Itching to belong
Or be left I should say in these depths
In this portion of the ocean
That this entity belongs
And location is based on a whim
