Interference Garden

Grow glowing flowers with Interference Garden: folded ribbon petals or nested contour blooms. Fifteen looks and eight Loom color presets that open, swirl and ripple with your music.

Interference Garden has two cores. Garden folds three translucent ribbon petals around a shared opening, with fine strands carrying moving highlights while music ripples through their edges and depth. Loom weaves petals of nested rounded contours out of a dark center: bass opens the flower, mids swirl the back petals, highs stretch the colors, every ring listens to its own slice of the spectrum, and the waveform ripples outward through each petal. Its petals sit on three planes that turn against one another. Start with Ripple Garden or Petalloom, watch the planes separate in Gyro Loom, or let loud passages inflate Spectrum Bloom. Loom Color presets recolor the flower without changing its shape; Original is the full rainbow.

Quick start

  1. Start the demo track, choose a local audio file, or enable a live input.
  2. Try a preset or style first, then open the section for the part of the image you want to change.
  3. On a control with Assign modulation, open the source picker, choose a signal, and watch the slider's live fill.
  4. Use Reset to Defaults whenever you want to return to the original look.

How do I share a factory look?

Open SHARE A LOOK, choose a preset from FACTORY LOOK, and select COPY LOOK LINK. The link opens that original preset with its audio reactions. Personal slider edits and music are not included. Use OPEN LOOK to preview what the recipient will see.

How do I share my edited look?

Open SHARE A LOOK, select PREPARE MY LOOK, then choose COPY MY LOOK LINK. The link includes your current visual settings, modulation routes, and generator settings. Music is not included. Use OPEN MY LOOK to preview the result. Prepare a new link after making more edits.

Audio modulation

On a control with Assign modulation, select the activity icon to open Modulate with. Choose a named source, or choose — None to leave the control unmodulated. After you assign one, its name appears below the slider; select that name to edit the route, or use Clear modulation to remove it. The slider track shows the live signal reaching the control.

Some controls appear only after you enable a related mode or style. The settings panel always reflects the options available for the current selection.

Tips for a better audio visualization

  • Use Silk Moire for fine rings and Ember Waves for broad shapes.
  • In Loom, raise Layer Spread and Counter Rotation to see the three planes of petals turn apart.
  • Phase Speed at zero holds the Garden wave motion; clear modulation and lower Sensitivity to zero for a still pattern.
  • Band Swell, Beat Bloom, Waveform Ripple, Wave Bend and Response need playing audio and nonzero Sensitivity.
  • Presets preserve Background Opacity.
