Murmuration

studio — a field of your words

move through the flock — press tune to give it your words

Tune the flock

words

leave empty and it speaks its own vocabulary

flock

birds speed wildness trails bird size

behavior

together spacing wind lift

together tightens the school, spacing gives elbow room, wind leans the sky sideways, lift carries them up or down

color

follow the theme hue richness

aurora washes the sky in waves, prism splits it by place, ember burns with speed, comet colors by heading, pulse breathes as one, confetti scatters every hue

glow

cursor

hawk scatters them, seed draws them near, ghost passes through

pace

between arrival held for kick

sound

volume

copies a link that recreates this exact sky — words, colors, and all

export

records the next word start to finish, then saves a looping gif

A generative art piece with a control panel. Thousands of particles flock like starlings, periodically gathering to spell a word, holding it, then scattering. Open the tune panel to supply your own words and adjust flock size, speed, wildness, trails, color, cursor behavior, and pacing. An export button records one full word cycle and saves it as an animated gif. Sound and rest controls are in the lower right corner.
