Geiss - Spiral Artifact

Geiss

Logarithmic spirals chasing their own recursion.

Spiral Artifact takes Geiss's fractal toolkit and bends it around a logarithmic axis. The result is a continuous unwinding that never quite reaches its own center — an infinite approach. Audio frequency shapes the spiral's pitch, and amplitude drives the radius of each rotation.

Essential Fractals

The core fractal lane. Dense recursion, spiral pull, reaction-diffusion, and the signatures that make the whole medium feel unmistakably MilkDrop. These presets are the reason people have been running visualizers for two decades.

Recursive tunnels, artifacts, and deep mathematical pull.

How it works

Audio-reactive shaders, running entirely in your browser.

Upload any audio

Drag in a local file, connect a mic, stream a radio URL, or use one of the included sample tracks.

Real-time analysis

The Web Audio API analyses frequency content, amplitude, and transients at up to 60 fps, all without leaving your tab.

Shader renders the result

Butterchurn translates that data into GLSL shader parameters. Geiss - Spiral Artifact maps those parameters into its own visual language.

No account. No install. Works in any modern browser with WebGL2 support.
