Lodestone

Iron filings on a circular resonating plate — they lie down along the contour they land on, in short oriented strokes.

How Lodestone moves with your music

Filings migrate as the figure moves, and each stroke lights up when its axis faces the light.

Like every Luxaudica scene, Lodestone is generative — drawn live from the music rather than played back from a file — and deeply reactive: bass moves the big shapes, treble the fine detail, and the song's build-ups and drops steer the whole arc. It holds one intentional colour family per moment and shifts with the song's harmony, and it settles when the music stops.

Make it yours

Shape Lodestone live with intensity, speed, warp, glow and Punch (one lever for how hard the picture rides the music), grade the colour, and save the result as a look you can recall by keypad, MIDI, OSC or a sentence to the AI copilot. Send it fullscreen to any display in deep 10-bit colour.
