CriticalCubes

For my 22nd sketch of #Mathober2024 coded in LiveCodeLab & Sonicpi, CriticalCubes will be using the 20th and 27th of #Mathober2024: Dodecicosacron & Critical. The visuals coded in LiveCodeLab is an attempt at the Dodecicosacron while the audio in SonicPi using the critical ratio used in schedule to compose the sound.

Poem

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
As the Dodecicosacron impacts this place
