martin - city of shadows
martin
Towering shadow-geometries rising from an audio horizon.
City of shadows layers silhouetted architectural forms against a luminous background that pulses with the music. The skyline is procedurally generated: each beat spawns a new building silhouette that slowly fades into the horizon. The aesthetic is unmistakably urban — deep blacks, distant warm light, the scale of a city seen from above.
