This is a little bit of experimental animation, rather minimalistitic, that uses three geometric images and four simple backgrounds to create around two minutes of fun with Moiré patterns.

As they say at the Wikipedia, “In mathematics, physics, and art, moiré patterns are large-scale interference patterns that can be produced when an opaque ruled pattern with transparent gaps is overlaid on another similar pattern. For the moiré interference pattern to appear, the two patterns must not be completely identical, but rather e.g. displaced, rotated or have slightly different pitch.”

It’s set to two pieces of music that I composed around fifteen years ago, with the second being about thirty seconds of a bassline that I wrote which was completely remixed and expanded upon by my brother Frank.

Essentially, this is what happens after I wrap up a magazine deadline, don’t feel like writing or watching TV, am too tired to go out, and have half an hour to spare.

Enjoy!
