Sharing this very early 2023 iteration of a cymatic Chladni visual system developed in TouchDesigner [with help from daily.typo / Factory Setting's awesome cymatic equations], translating Tessa Violet’s Haze into reactive geometric frequency patterns.

Cut to 3 years later and a BUNCH of refinement and head-scratching, and I can’t wait to share the significantly more advanced outcomes of the network’s continued development in the next few weeks; including tighter response, better particle control, more professional-looking UI, and a bespoke audio analysis component that can automatically adjust to (almost) any song input.

Be the first to see the results (and all-important network schematics), coming soon on my Instagram..

I witnessed a very disturbing assault in the town centre today involving a shop worker who was simply doing their job. The incident followed what appeared to be a shoplifting incident involving three males pictured.

Police Scotland have been notified, but I’m posting this to raise awareness for local businesses and staff in the area, as incidents like this are deeply concerning for both local workers and the wider community.

I’d also like to invite discussion: is anyone else becoming increasingly frustrated by the apparent lack of meaningful consequences for this kind of behaviour? Personally, I’m concerned that when violent or antisocial behaviour faces little deterrent, it can embolden further aggression, theft, and crime, further exacerbating concerns around public safety.

Local businesses, please stay vigilant, review security measures where possible, and report any suspicious or violent behaviour directly to Police Scotland.

Please do not approach or harass anyone pictured. If you have relevant information, pass it through the proper channels.

A decoded machine rite attributed to an engine-priest caste, composed to align, sanctify, and awaken a dormant titan-class war engine buried beneath cathedral-forges and generations of ash. Across the configuration, liturgical gridworks hold the field in rigid order while shifting geometric forms assemble into esoteric machine-sigils - configurations of code and command arranged in precise sequence to unlock sealed systems and initiate resurrection protocols.

Static interference fractures the transmission like degraded scripture, while corrupted distortions bleed through the signal as though the machine itself strains against incomplete communion. Tracking nodes register across the rite as diagnostic seals, containment wards, and anchor points, each one serving to stabilise the awakening process and bind catastrophic force into disciplined function.

The titan is an ancient siege-behemoth: a rust-entombed colossus of blackened armour plating, fortress-scale artillery, and extinction-level destructive capacity. Its reactor core has lain dormant for centuries beneath corrosion, sanctified oils, and doctrinal sealing rites, preserved until the hour of necessary war. Such engines are not awakened lightly. They are summoned when nations fail, when conventional armies collapse, and when annihilation must be delivered with absolute certainty. Entire cityscapes may be levelled beneath its bombardments; its passage alone can rupture infrastructure and shatter defensive lines.

To the engine-priest, the machine is revered as both weapon and divinity - a vessel of preserved wrath, forbidden knowledge, and industrial sentience. Steel becomes scripture. Maintenance becomes sacrament. Activation becomes an act of perilous devotion. Through ritual precision, the priest-engineer does not simply power the titan’s systems, but communes with an ancient intelligence of war, imposing order upon devastation so that its awakening serves doctrine rather than indiscriminate ruin.

A sacred act of calibration performed at the threshold between dormant machinery and mechanised apotheosis.
