Quarks is an interactive generative sound sculpture. Five coloured quarks bounce endlessly around a playfield, each triggering synthesised notes as they collide with the walls and each other. Touch a quark to take control β€” drag it, fling it, nudge others out of its path. Pinch to change speed. Shake to restart. Shape the sound with a full effects chain: reverb, chorus, phaser, delay, filter and stereo width. Choose your scale, key, waveform and octave. Add trails, glow, wireframe and mirror effects for stunning visuals. Headphones recommended. Bluetooth ready. Bonus: Mini Games - Pinball and Air Hockey... have fun! An interactive generative sound sculpture by Stuart Warren-Hill.
