Synthesising the soundtrack

Zero day

A 64-second demoscene intro: a security scanner boots, flies through its own code, watches an exploit crawl into the firewall, slams a patch shut and sends greetings. Every pixel and every sound comes from this one file.

Soundtrack synthesised at load in an OfflineAudioContext: oscillators, filtered noise, a resonant acid bass and a convolution reverb whose impulse is seeded noise
One pattern sequencer drives both the audio graph and the shader uniforms, so kicks punch the camera and arpeggio notes become glints
Raw WebGL2 effects: a hexagonal tunnel of code, a raymarched kaleidoscopic fractal, copper bars and a sine scroller
Datamosh glitch from a ping-pong framebuffer chain replayed from each cut, so every frame stays a pure function of time
Glyph atlases rasterised from Martian Mono at runtime; no images and no audio files
