Flying Lotus released a brilliant and beautiful album the other week,
but I still can’t get over how good the last release “Cosmogramma” was.
This animation in an interpretation of that album cover.
Mathematica code:
rr[n_] := (SeedRandom[n]; RandomReal[])
Rays[Q_, h_, a_, b_, N_, s_, PR_] :=
Graphics[
Table[
{AbsoluteThickness[h],
Line[
{{a*Cos[(n + s*rr[Q*n])*2 Pi/N], a*Sin[(n + s*rr[Q*n])*2 Pi/N]},
{b*Cos[(n + s*rr[Q*n])*2 Pi/N], b*Sin[(n + s*rr[Q*n])*2 Pi/N]}}
]},
{n, 1, N, 1}],
PlotRange -> PR, ImageSize -> 500]
Spheres[U_, R_, op_, z_, p_, w_, D_, PR_] :=
Graphics[
Table[
{Opacity[op],
Disk[
Mod[z + R*rr[3*U*d], R]*{Cos[2 Pi*rr[U*d]], Sin[2 Pi*rr[U*d]]},
Mod[z + R*rr[3*U*d], R]^p*w]},
{d, 1, D, 1}],
PlotRange -> PR, ImageSize->500]
Manipulate[
Show[
Rays[t, 1.75, .1, 3, 225, 1, 1],
Spheres[18, 1.3, 1, 1.3 t/12, 1.5, .11, 15, 1]],
{t, 1, 12, 1}]
So beautiful
Cosmogramma?
StayHigh, FlyLo
:O is all I can say.
