Circuli - Generative Ambient Sound Instrument

• Circles grow at a constant rate.

• No two circles can overlap.

• Bigger circle pushes and shrinks smaller circle when in contact.

• A circle “pops” and makes a sound when its boundary intersects with the center of another circle.

• The pitch of the sound is determined by the position of the circle on the background. Bigger the hole, higher the pitch.

• The envelope of the produced sound is determined by a number of parameters including final circle size and time of interaction between two involved circles.
