It combines an audio resonant bandpass filter, a geometrically constructed mass-spring system and its graphical skin. The system shows a resonant behavior that is detailed in various parameter setups. Complex mass-spring topologies result in a coherent self-sustained audio-visual system that mimics gusts ...
