Iconostasis is an audio-reactive piece created using the p5 JavaScript library. The work explores the “rose equation” r = asin(nθ), discovered by Italian mathematician/philosopher Guido Grandi (1671-1742). High values of a are used, revealing geometric patterns at the very centre of these rose curves which typically remain unseen. Incrementing n by low values causes a perceived rotation as the curve moves through different configurations. The sound is taken from a jam with a sequencer I built in Pure Data. A combination of clicks and bursts of white noise are used to create generative rhythms.
