Music · Boiling Line

26.0s · 1920×1080 · 30fps, drawn at 12 a second · one take

The film for this site's Music page, drawn like hand-drawn animation. A sea, a sunset and a small piano are sketched in sepia ink, the lines boil twelve times a second, the piano's keys press on the score's own notes, and a watercolour wash spreads as the sun goes down.

An original score composed in code: soft piano over an ocean wash, with a pen scratching as lines are drawn. No spoken dialogue. On-screen text carries the story.

The study

Draw the world the page's calm tracks describe, a sea, a sunset and a piano, and make code look like a hand made it.

01

The page's own mood

The tracks on the Music page are calm piano and ocean pieces made with Suno, so the film draws exactly that: a shore at sunset with a piano on the sand.

02

Hand-drawn, computed

Every stroke is a polyline drawn in two passes whose points wobble anew twelve times a second from a seeded hash, so it boils like ink but renders the same every time.

03

One table of notes

The keys that press in the drawing and the piano in the score read the same list of notes, and the pen scratch follows every stroke as it is drawn.
