Slime + Smoke generative art

Playing around with fluid + slime mold simulation. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌫️ VISUALS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Real-time generative smoke, painted by the music. Nothing is pre-rendered — every frame is simulated live. Under the hood: • A spectral fluid solver (Jos Stam's "Stable Fluids", FFT formulation) carries the smoke. • Thousands of Physarum (slime-mould) agents paint into it, growing the flowing, vein-like structures. • The track is analysed live and mapped onto the image: – each frequency band drives a colour — silence stays white, energy fades the palette in (bass / mid / treble → their own hues) – beat onsets kick the simulation's time-step, so the smoke lurches forward on every hit, then eases back – overall loudness feeds emission and per-colour persistence, so loud passages bloom denser and brighter Built in Clojure + Quil (OpenGL).
