Written at release

Today’s experiment: Using sin and cos functions to architect a DNA helix and its ATGC chemical bonds. I went back and forth between a monochrome and colored look, but eventually settled on color to bring out the details. By linking the logic to an audio-visual performance workflow, I can manipulate the strands in real-time—controlling the tightness of the coil and the rotation phase. The result is a grand, sci-fi cinematic tension.

Powered by TouchDesigner POPs for precise bond positioning.

What it is built on

This one is built on 5 shared modules: Cinematic_POSTFX_251204, VisualFrame_251214, base_audio_251201, basic_3d_render_251209, work_capturer_251213. The six digits in a module name are the day it was made; the same module appearing across works is the lineage of this series.
