Nature - Oscillator

The world around us is an endless source of visual information, the flow of the fractal code of life. Nature - Oscillator is one of the attempts to translate this code to sound, using spectral synthesis algorithm of the Virtual ANS engine (software simulator of the unique Russian synthesizer ANS). The program continuously reads the image from the camera and interprets it as the spectrum of the sound.
