sine

Small experiments in a continuous world.

A hands-on sine playground

Start with a wave.
See where it goes.

Four little worlds, drawn from the same curve. Push, tune, type, and listen. There is no right result.

No pictures. No samples. Just math, in motion.

The experiments

Choose a surface. Change its signal.

01 Shape a signal

Wave Garden

Motion

Pull a quiet curve into a thicket of waves.

A field of sine waves. Use the Frequency and Amplitude sliders below to change its shape.
2.4
58%

Drag across the field for frequency; up and down for amplitude.

On the field: ← → frequency, ↑ ↓ amplitude, Home reset.

02 Find a rhythm

Resonant Steps

Sound

Let a few simple tones find their way around a loop.

A visual sine-tone sequence. Start sound and adjust the Tempo slider to hear the rhythm change.
96BPM
AudioNot started
0

Audio stays off until you choose Start sound. Mute silences the sequence; Stop ends playback. Start with your volume low.

03 Weave a word

Glyph Loom

Letterform

Give a word a new shape, one oscillation at a time.

Letterforms generated from sine curves. Enter text and adjust Phase and Stroke below to weave your own variation.
Up to 12 characters
40°
3px

Type a short word. Shift its phase to change the weave; adjust the stroke to give it weight.

04 Bend the field

Orbit Lattice

Motion

Move the center. Watch everything find a different balance.

A lattice of sine-driven orbits. Move the attractor with the arrow keys, adjust Gravity, or send a pulse with the button below.
36%

Drag the attractor across the field, or send a pulse through the lattice.

On the field: arrow keys move, Space pulse, Home reset.
