The library.

A scene is a visual world — the smoke, the sun, the swarm. A look (preset) is a scene plus every slider set just so. The app ships 70+ scenes and 127 factory looks; this page is the guided walk through both.

How to read a scene

Every scene in the library is built to the same four promises:

  • It listens. Different parts follow different parts of the music — bass moves the big shapes, treble the details, and the song's build-ups and drops steer the whole arc.
  • Quiet is quiet. When the music rests, the picture rests. Darkness is a feature — it's what makes the drop land.
  • One palette at a time. Each scene holds a single color family per moment and shifts family with the song's key — intentional, not rainbow.
  • Never twice. Every play is seeded fresh. The scene is the same world; tonight's weather in it is yours alone.

Smoke, ink & fluids

The beloved family. Real fluid simulation — millions of particles moving through actual physics.

  • Smoke — the signature haze — soft, endless, hypnotic
  • Liquid Light — silky ink ribbons drawn through a fluid current
  • Galaxy — a slow-turning spiral of stars that breathes with the bass
  • Updraft — embers and heat rising on the music's thermals
  • Spark Cascade — a waterfall of sparks that rains harder as the song builds
  • Sakura — luminous petals falling on a curling wind
  • Fiesta — a firework display — fountains and ring-bursts in festival colors

Chrome & dimension

True 3D — real materials, depth-of-field, motion blur. The camera is part of the choreography.

  • Radiance — a dome of chrome spheres in night haze, lit by the music
  • Chrome Swarm — a murmuration of liquid-metal shards
  • Capsule Choir — a ring of glossy capsules singing in light
  • Orbitals — gem shells orbiting a beat-breathing core
  • Phyllotaxis Bloom — a golden-ratio flower of mirrored petals
  • Lattice Storm — a crystal lattice charging up with the song
  • Monolith Field — a forest of dark pillars under a moving sky
  • Terrain — flying over generative mountains at dusk

Space & cosmos

The big-room family. Darkness used deliberately — light means something when it arrives.

  • Event Horizon — a black hole with a doppler-bright accretion disc
  • Solar — a boiling sun — flames lick off the limb on each band of the music
  • Eclipse — corona light escaping around a dark disc
  • Rings — a luminous ring system around a crescent-lit planet
  • Nebula — the original particle cosmos — never the same twice

Nocturnes

Quiet on purpose. These are the 2 a.m. scenes — negative space, patience, detail.

  • Dunes — a moonlit desert whose ridges ride the bass
  • Tide — luminous tide-lines flowing over true black
  • Firefly Field — a meadow of fireflies, each pulsing to its own band
  • Zen Garden — a still pond — stones drop on the beat, ripples answer
  • Caustics — god-rays and light-nets on the floor of a deep pool
  • Canopy — sun tearing through a drifting forest canopy

Structures & feedback

Architecture and recursion — scenes that build, echo and fold on themselves.

  • Kaleido — a feedback kaleidoscope that blooms into a mandala on the drop
  • Tunnel — a volumetric warp tunnel with a dark core
  • Strata — rim-lit ridgelines stacked into parallax dusk
  • Cells — living colonies dividing to the music
  • Prism — a glass wedge splitting the beat into a spectral fan
  • Ziggurat — a neon monument whose terraces chase the bands
  • Pulse Lattice — a node network firing signals down its wires

Retro & signal

The lo-fi corner — deliberate genre pieces.

  • Grid — the outrun horizon — a sun rising over a neon grid
  • Cipher — digit rain, decoding itself on the beat
  • Vinyl — a record spinning under a sweeping sheen
  • Shutter — a mechanical iris that only opens when the music does

// Plus more in the app — the menu is the source of truth. Nine dated scenes were retired in the latest refresh; if an old saved look used one, it still plays exactly as saved.

Looks: save, recall, perform

  • Save the current state of everything under a name — that's a look.
  • Recall by clicking, by number keys 1–0, by MIDI pad, by OSC, or by asking the AI.
  • Transitions honor your crossfade time — a look change can be a hard cut or a ten-second dissolve.
  • The factory gallery (127 looks) is a starting library, not a cage: rename, reorder, delete freely. Updates add new packs exactly once and never resurrect what you deleted.

Let the app drive

Surprise me invents a new look on demand — always curated, never a repeat of what you just saw. Auto-pilot does it on a schedule (or locked to the beat), drawing from a pool you choose. Between the two, the app can run an entire evening solo — that's the living-room trainer in one sentence.

Want a scene that doesn't exist?

Describe it to the AI copilot — "a lighthouse beam sweeping through rain", "gold dust settling on black velvet" — and it authors a brand-new scene into your library, checks its own work visually, and hands you the result. No code on your side of the conversation. See The AI copilot.
