Nāda field

Tradition holds that the fourteen Shiva Sutras came from fourteen beats of Nataraja's damaru: sound first, form after. This site starts from the same idea.

The background is one shader. A single light source sits in a field of midnight blue, bent by slow fractal noise, and its brightness maps onto a five-step ramp: midnight black, Shiva blue, halo, Ganga cyan, crescent white. Film grain is added fresh every frame.

When sound is on, the loudness of whatever is playing feeds the light directly. The quieter the music, the darker the room.
