Melodic Carnatic Ambient | 4K Gold and Silver Agate | Hiranya Strata

A melody at 100.7 bpm in C, Carnatic inflected, under a 4K field of gold, silver and black agate that keeps folding for the whole 3:49. The picture is one fullscreen fragment shader. A cutting plane travels through a three dimensional noise volume, and every band the plane crosses gets filled with a material rather than drawn as a line, which is how an agate is actually layered. The shader loop runs 300 seconds against a 229 second track, so nothing repeats inside the video. Three things in the music reach the picture. Overall loudness sets how hard the layers fold, the low end sets how tightly they pack, and the beat shifts the palette without moving anything in the frame. #carnaticambient #generativeart #4k #agate #indianinstrumental #shaderart
