UnEvenMarching

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph: “Marching”, UnEvenMarching represents the following definition, where “Marching refers to the organized, uniformed, steady walking forward in either rhythmic or route-step time;” (WIkipedia).

In this Locomotion Coded Choreography, each line is doing their own marching sequence with the glitching from HydraVideoSynth attempting to throw them off. The SonicPi coded audio represents the percussion instruments that can be seen in Marching Bands but in a glitched out setting.

Poem

The March
Is What they wanted to Watch
But this was not the Typical
Even with the notion of Lines
The unison may be considered a blotch
Potentially Biophysical
A Metaphysical Watch
Even  Astrophysical March
Elements that are UnTypical,
Unaligned
