LayeringLayers
The prompt for Genuary 2025 Day2 is Layers Upon Layers and Day 24 is Circles
LayeringLayers takes a coded layered remake in Hydra of my first sketch of Genuary2025 while making audio out of various Circles and their rolling speed coded in SonicPi. After this, more layers are made and repeated through various means.
Poetry
Lines Grouping
Lines Swooping
Layered upon each other with Circular entities
That are now the audio
entities that inject a bit of personality
That may resemble at least
At least one station on the radio
But as long as the lines are please
Let's continue till the the Outro
